I was the Trunchbull recently in a production of Matilda and this song has become my favorite out of the whole musical. It was so fun to sing and do a ribbon dance too. Audience laughed so hard! Loved this role!!

best song in the musical

In my theater’s production of Matilda, we had a man dressed in drag playing the Trunchbull. It was a dream role of his, and he was absolutely fabulous!

I love this musical. I wish I was in it

I love the use of bass clarinet to convey Trunchbull's sour attitude.

I was a part of a production of Matilda (just the crew) and the person who played Trunchbull was amazing! They were all amazing, I'm so proud of them. This was one of my favorite songs and I especially loved to watch them perform it from side stage

Look at these trophies See how my trophies gleam in the sunlight, see how they shine What do you think it took to become English Hammer-throwing champion Nineteen-sixty-nine? Do you think in that moment When my big moment came That I treated the rules With casual disdain Well, LIKE HELL! As I stepped up to the circle did I change my plan? Hmm... what? As I chalked up my palms did I wave my hands? I DID NOT! As I started my spin did I look at the view? Did I drift off and dream for a minute or two? Do you think I faltered or amended my rotation? Do you think I altered my intended elevation? As the hammer took off did I change my grunt From the grunt I had practised for many a month? Not a jot, not a dot did I stray from the plot Not a detail of my throw was adjusted or forgotten Not even when the hammer left my hands And sailed up, up above the stands Did I let myself go? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... No If you want to throw the hammer for your country, You have to stay inside the circle all the time, And if you want to make the team, You don't need happiness or self-esteem, You just need to keep your feet inside the line. Sing, children 2, 3, 4! If you want to throw the hammer for your country, Bambinatum est maggitum. You have to stay inside the circle all the time. Circulum! Maggitum! Maggitum! And if you want to teach success, (Aaah) You don't use sympathy or tenderness. Tenderness You have to force the little squits to toe the line! Sing, Jenny 2, 3, 4! If you want to throw the hammer for your country, Bambinatum, Bambinatum, Gloria Maggitum You have to stay inside the circle all the time. Circulum ex Deus, Deus. Apply just one simple rule - To hammer-throwing, life, and school - Life's a ball, so learn to throw it. Find the bally line and toe it, And always keep your feet inside the line. Now get out!

I am so excited! I am Miss Trenchbolt! I am so thrilled!

It's funny hearing the slight differences in his character voice here compared to the original cast recording that Bertie Carvel uses.
