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)
