I'm Madeline is a song sung by Madeline and the girls at the beginning of the specials and was used as the theme song for the first two seasons of the series.
Lyrics Special Version
These are the lyrics to "I'm Madeline." The part in brackets was used only in the original special and none of the other appearances.
Madeline: If you believe, you must be big, in order to be tough,
Then you should get to know me, I'll teach you other stuff!
Other 11 girls: If you believe, you must be big, in order to be tough,
Then you should get to know her, She'll teach you other stuff!
Madeline: I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And though I'm very small,
I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And inside, I'm tall!
Other 11 girls: She may be teeny tiny,
Diminutive petite,
But that has never stopped her,
From being pretty neat!
Madeline: I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
I'm not some little twig,
I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And inside, I'm big!
Other 11 girls: Dum dee dum dee dum!
Madeline: I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
I'm not afraid at all,
I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And bravest, of all!
Other 11 girls: Dum dee dum dee dum.
We know some little girls
Who are like timid and demure
But that is not the perfect girl,
Of that you can be sure.
Madeline: I'm not some shrinking violet
Or doormat for your feet.
I'm quite the bravest toughest
Girl you'll ever meet.
I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
I hope you have it straight.
I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And inside, I'm great.
Other 11 girls: Dum dee dum dee dum.
She's Madeline, she's Madeline,
We hope you have it straight!
She's Madeline, she's Madeline,
And inside, she's...
Madeline: Dum dee dum dee dum...
All 12: GREAT!

But that has never stopped her,
From being pretty neat!
Dum dee dum dee dum x2

She's Madeline, she's Madeline,
We hope you have it straight!
Madeline: I'm Madeline, I'm Madeline,
And inside, I'm great!
