This opening song title Thumbelina introduces the heroine and the type of lifestyle she has on the farm. Thumbelina is loved by all the farm animals, settles in really well, but has only the one qualm of her unusually small size which keeps on getting in the way.

 
Duck
Who is the girl no bigger than a bumble bee?
Goat
Who is the angel with a funny name?
Cow
Who we don't know where she's from or how she came to be?
Farm Animals
But happy was the day she came
   
Chickens
Thumbelina
Goat
She's a funny little squirt
Chickens
Thumbelina
Cow
Tiny angel in a skirt
Chickens
Thumbelina
Farm Animals
She's mending, then baking, pretending, she's making things up
Chickens
Thumbelina
   
Thumbelina
Who would believe the wonder of the world I see
Each little minute brings a new surprise
There's only one peculiar thing that bothers me
Seems I'm the only one my size
   
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
Goat
Think of all we'll save on meals
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
Turkey
Maybe if you had high heels
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
  If you stay here forever we know that we'll never be glum
Cow
By gum
   
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
  She's a whisper of the thing
  Thumbelina
  She's as welcome as a spring
  Thumbelina
  First she's mending, then baking, pretending, she's making things up
   
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
  She's always in the thick
  Thumbelina
Thumbelina
But I get out in the nick
Farm Animals
Thumbelina
  Fortune sometimes has tricked us, but this time it's picked us
Thumbelina
Oh a plum's so big, and a fig's so big
And they call it a twig but a twig's so big
Farm Animals
It's a great big world for Thumbelina, Thumbelina, Thumbelina
Thumbelina
That's me!
