[MAMA TOAD]
The scrubbings and the washings
And noses with the drippings
And the sopas always boiling

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
Si, si!

[MAMA TOAD]
The panes and the windows falling
With the diapers changing
And the roof, she's leaking
And the enchiladas spoiling

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
Ooh!

[MAMA TOAD]
Do you know how to do these things
Like you will have to do these things
Or does the very thought of that make you wince?
(spoken)
I thought so

(sung)
Then don't marry the prince!
[THUMBELINA]
(spoken)
Oh dear

[MAMA TOAD]
(spoken)
You see, eh? You become big a star like me. We make big monies togethеr! You make Mama rich! You are important person! You arе famous! You are a star!

[THUMBELINA]
(spoken)
A star?
Well, I suppose

[MAMA TOAD]
(spoken)
Now, repeat after me

(sung)
We are the Singers de Espana
The original cast
And there hasn't been a town we haven't played

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
We are the Singers de Espana
And we sing very fast
[MOZO]
We get on!

[GRUNDEL]
We get off!

[GRINGO]
We get paid!

[MAMA TOAD]
(spoken)
Si!

[THUMBELINA]
(spoken)
Uh, could you say that a little slower?

[MAMA TOAD]
(spoken)
Slower? We don't do ballads

[THUMBELINA]
(spoken)
Oh, maybe I can take notes

[MAMA TOAD]
We are free and independent
We go everywhere
And we gotcha cuchi-cuchi all the way
We're gonna teach you how to samba
And to rhumba y la bamba
Every number Thumbelina say "Ole!"
[ALL]
Come on the road
My little castanet
Come on the road
And famous you will get

[MAMA TOAD]
I make you star
Get you small guitar

[ALL (MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL)]
You'll be hot muchacha
Once I've gotcha on the road!
(Thumbelina-cita)
(No one could be sweeta')
(Sing with Mamacita)
(We go on the road, ungh!)

[MAMA TOAD]
(spoken)
Ay, yi yi yi yi! Ay, que pero bien bailan mis ranitos la conga! Now we sing

(sung)
We open Monday in Medina
Then we do Babylon
Then we hop to Barcelona for a week
We do!

[MAMA TOAD]
Then for a month in Athens
At the Parthenon
Where they love us because we do the show in Greek

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
We're the finest in the business. It's a well-known fact
And forgive us if we have to blow the horn

[MAMA TOAD]
Because this isn't any ordinary animal act
And today a star is born!

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
Come on the road!
You'll hear the peoples roar
You're not a toad

[MAMA TOAD]
But that's what makeup's for!

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL]
Just sing on pitch
We get very rich!
Wait until they see the Thumbelina

[MAMA TOAD (MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL)]
On the road!
(Sing it, Thumbelina!)
(Dance it, Thumbelina!)
(Something, Thumbelina!)
Now I make her sing. OW!

[THUMBELINA (MAMA TOAD)]
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! (Bueno, muy bueno! You got it!)

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL (MAMA)]
Come on the road (Vamanos!)
We'll make you big success
Come on the road

[MAMA TOAD]
You're in the union, yes?

[MOZO, GRINGO, and GRUNDEL (MAMA)]
The life, she's sweet (Si!)
Lots of flies to eat (Yum yum!)
So why be a little fish in little pond
When you can go so far beyond?

[MAMA TOAD]
I think perhaps we'll make you blonde!

[ALL]
When we get on the road!

[THUMBELINA]
On the road!

[ALL]
Let's hit the road!
Ole!
