Amayzing Gertrude (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

So she flew to the doctor, the doctor named Dake

Whose office was high in a tree by the lake

She cried, "Mr. Doctor, oh, please, do you know

Of some kind of pill that will make my tail grow?"

"Ta-tat", sagt der Doktor

"Dieses Gespräch ist zu verrückt

Ihr kleiner Federschwanz ist genau richtig

Für ihre Vogelart"

Huh?

In other words, your little tail

Is just right for your kind of bird!

No!

Then Gertrude had tantrums, she raised such a din

That finally the doctor just had to give in

"Alright, already

Bitteschön, her mit dem Pillberry-Busch

Meine Güte"

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

Amayzing Gertrude

Just look at the tail she is sportin'

Amayzing Gertrude

Thank you, Doctor Dake!

(Thanks, doc!)

Amayzing Gertrude

And hopefully I'll impress Horton!

(Amayzing Gertrude)

One more pill will do me good

Yes, it will

One more, one more, one more pill

(Soon, she'll have the biggest tail)

(She'll have the biggest tail)

I'll have the biggest tail

(The biggest tail of)

All (all)
