"Toto...I have a feeling
we're not in Kansas any more."

 


              I could while away the hours, conferrin'
        with the flowers Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my    
thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only                
had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle                           
for any individ'le, In trouble or in pain.                  
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you     
   could be another Lincoln If you only had
                 a brain. Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's
      near the shore. I could think of things I never
thunk before. And then I'd sit, and think         
some more. I would not be just a nothin'                   
my head all full of stuffin' My heart                                
all full of pain. I would dance and                                               
be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,                                   
If I only had a brain.                                  


                  When a man's an empty kettle he
          should be on his mettle, And yet I'm
torn apart. Just because I'm presumin'
that I could be kind-a-human, If I only      
had heart. I'd be tender - I'd be gentle              
and awful sentimental Regarding Love                      
and Art.I'd be friends with the sparrows...           
and the boys who shoots the arrows If I    
     only had a heart.Picture me - a balcony.
             Above a voice sings low. Wherefore art
                     thou, Romeo? I hear a beat....How sweet.
                               Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion,
                                       And really feel the part. I could stay young
                                                 and chipper and I'd lock it with a zipper,
                                               If I only had a heart.
                                                                
                                                         Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy,
                                                               When you're born to be a sissy
                                                                      Without the vim and verve. But I
                                                                     could show my prowess, be a lion
                                                           not a mou-ess If I only had the nerve.
                                              I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just
                                 a dandelion, A fate I don't deserve.
                  I'd be brave as a blizzard.... I'd be
  gentle as a lizard.... I'd be clever
as a gizzard.... If the Wizard is a          
Wizard who will serve. Then I'm                    
sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!                            


If I were King of the Forest,                       
Not queen, not duke, not prince.            
My regal robes of the forest,
          would be satin, not cotton, not
                     chintz. I'd command each thing,
                              be it fish or fowl. With a woof
                                      and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
                            As I'd click my heel, all the trees
                 would kneel. And the mountains bow
and the bulls kowtow. And the sparrow
would take wing - If I - If I - were King!            
Each rabbit would show respect to me. The                           
chipmunks genuflect to me. Though my tail                                       
would lash, I would show compash For every                                                 
underling! If I-If I- were King! Just King                                     
                           
Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Follow                          
the Yellow Brick Road. Follow, follow,           
        follow, follow, Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
                    Follow the Yellow Brick, Follow the Yellow
              Brick, Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
We're off to see the Wizard, The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You'll           
find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever                       
a Wiz! there was. If ever oh ever a Wiz!                                         
there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,                                                  
Because, because, because, because, because.                                       
Because of the wonderful things he does.                       
We're off to see the Wizard.              
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

All I Really Know I Learned From The Wizard Of Oz

Imagination can take you anywhere, even over the rainbow
Sometimes you have to leave home to find it
Follow the yellow brick road-but be ready for a detour
Faith, hope and love can work wonders,
but ruby slippers can't hurt either
When friends stick together, they can work miracles
Having the courage to ask for what you want is half the battle
"Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable"
The grass is always greener on the other side of the rainbow
All you need is right there inside of you
Keep home in your heart and you can always return to it
When you go out into the world, remember to stand up for yourself,
but always be kind to the little guys.
