Danny Kaye singing Thumbelina in Hans Christian Andersen

Though you’re no bigger than my thumb, than my thumb, than my thumb,
Sweet Thumbelina don’t be glum, la la la, uh uh uh, come come come,
Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall.


Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall.

Though you’re no bigger than my toe
Than my toe, than my toe
Sweet Thumbalina keep that glow
And you’ll grow and you’ll grow and you’ll grow.

Thumbalina, Thumbalina tiny little thing
Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing
Thumbalina what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall!
