Tonight I'll be thumbelina
Sleeping in a walnut shell
Upon a blue mattress
Made of violet petals

In my dreams, I'll be thumbelina
Drifting away down the stream
Sailing on a fallen leaf
I will be the flower queen
It's a wondrous dream
But tomorrow

I'll be taken away high up in the tree
How frightened I will be
When tomorrow I'll be high up in the tree
Oh, will I ever be free?

Tomorrow I'll be thumbelina
And I'll be taken away to the treetops
By a giant beetle
But will I be dropped
Upon a daisy and be free?
Like thumbelina was?
Like thumbelina was?

I'll be taken away high up in the tree
How frightened I will be
When tomorrow I'll be high up in the tree
Will I be dropped upon a daisy?
Like thumbelina was?
Like thumbelina was?
Like thumbelina was?

Sleeping in a walnut shell
Waking up under a blanket
Made of a red rose petal
