thumbelina

I'm Thumbelina
I live in a shoebox
my bed is a matchbox
my neighbor's a shrew
I'm Thumbelina
my rent is two nickels
it weighs pretty heavy but I'm making do

my sword is a nail
and my shield is a button
my hat is a thimble
my belt is a string
I'm Thumbelina
my size may be little
but my dreams are bigger than anything

I'm Thumbelina
my lake is a puddle
my boat's made of paper
my oar is a spoon
I'm Thumbelina
my lunch is one noodle
with some still left over for this afternoon

my train is a worm
and my bus is a lizard

my flight out of town's on a dragonfly's wing
I'm Thumbelina
my size may be little
but my dreams are bigger than anything
