Amazing Mayzie Lyrics > Seussical

MAYZIE
Poor little Gertrude!
A sorry sight!
Well, I'm gonna take you under my wing
And baby, you'll be all right!

I was once a plain little bird like you, kid.
One pathetic feather was all I grew.
I had nothing showoff-ish.
What's a plain bird to do?
And there's certainly nothing showoff-ish on you!

GERTRUDE
Thank you, Mayzie

MAYZIE
Then I made a plan for my self-improvement
No more crumbs. I vowed I would have the cake!
Yes, I went to the doctor-

GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
Doctor Dake by the lake!

MAYZIE
And he told me
What sort of a pill I should take...
Now I'm ......
Amayzing Mayzie!
As feathered as feathered can be now!
Amayzing Mayzie!
It was all for sale!

MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!

MAYZIE
The birds are all whistling at me now.

MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!

MAYZIE
Baby, that's my tail!

(MAYZIE begins to dance, flaunting her tail. GERTRUDE watches in awe.)

BIRD GIRLS
High or low

GERTRUDE
Gee, it's fabulous!

BIRD GIRLS
Watch her go

GERTRUDE
Gee, I'm envious!

BIRD GIRLS
To and fro,-
Mayzie's fabulous tail!

GERTRUDE
I wish I had one like it.

BIRD GIRLS
Left and right

GERTRUDE
Best I've ever seen.

BIRD GIRLS
Day or night

MAYZIE
Kid, you're turning green!

GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
What a sight-
Mayzie's fabulous tail!

MAYZIE BIRD GIRLS
Get those pills
Get the pills
And you can have frills
Frills!

MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
For all the world to see.
And you can be amayzing-

MAYZIE
Almost...
As amayzing...
As me!!!

(MAYZIE exits with flare.)
