[Gertrude]
So she flew to the doctor, the doctor named Dake
Whose office was high in a tree by the lake
And she cried, -Mr. Doctor! - oh, please, do you know
Of some kind of pill that will make my tail grow
[Cat, as Doctor Dake]
(To the audience, in German)
"Tut tut!", sagt der Doktor.
Diese gespräch ist zu verrückt. Ihr kleiner Federschwanz ist genau richtig, für ihr vogelart.
[Gertrude]
Huh??
[Cat, as Doctor Dake]
In other words, your little tail is just right for your kind of bird!
[Gertrude]
NO!
Then Gertrude had tantrums, she raised such a din
That finally the doctor just had to give in
[Cat, as Doctor Dake]
Alright already! Bitteschön! Hier mit dem Pill-berry bush! Meine Güte!
[Gertrude]
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp gulp gulp!
What was that?
Something's itching me
What was that?
Something's twitching me
What was that?
Are those feathers I see?
I think my tail's beginning
Oh my word
This is wonderful
Second, third
Wow, I'm colorful
What a bird
I'm beginning to be

[Bird Girls]

[Gertrude]
One more pill will do me good
Yes, it will
One more, one more, one more pill
[Bird Girls]
Soon, she'll have the biggest tail
She'll have the biggest tail
[Gertrude]
I'll have the biggest tail
[Gertrude & Bird Girls]
The biggest tail of
[Gertrude]
All
