The Wizard of Oz
LYRICS

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high. There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops. That's where you'll find me. Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, Why then - oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, Why, oh, why can't I?

Munchkinland

Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star. She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star. Kansas, she says, is the name of the star. She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard? When she fell out of Kansas A miracle occurred. It really was no miracle. What happened was just this. The wind began to switch - the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch. Just then the Witch - to satisfy an itch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch. And oh, what happened then was rich. *The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch. It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch, Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch. (* = repeated) ... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.

Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead!

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Wicked Witch is dead!

If I Only Had a Brain

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.

If I Only Had aHeart

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.

If I Only Had the Nerve

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!

Optimistic Voices

You're out of the woods, You're out of the dark, You're out of the night. Step into the sun, Step into the light. Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place On the Face of the Earth or the sky. Hold onto your breath, Hold onto your heart, Hold onto your hope. March up to the gate and bid it open.

Merry Old Land Of Oz

Ha - ha - ha, Ho - ho - ho - And a couple of tra - la - las That's how we laugh the day away, In the Merry Old Land of Oz!

If I Were King Of The Forest

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!

The Jitterbug (this song cut from movie)

(Listen all you chillun to that voodoo moan, There's a modern villun worser than that old boogie woogie, When that goofy critter spots your fancy clothes, He injects a jitter, Starts you dancing on a thousand toes, There he goes!) Who's that hiding in the tree top? It's that rascal, The Jitterbug! Should you catch him buzzing 'round you, Keep away from, The Jitterbug! Oh! the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz, But the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees couldn't do what The Jitterbug does! So be careful of that rascal, Keep away from The Jitterbug! The Jitterbug! Oh! The Jitter! Oh The Bug! Oh! The Jitterbug, Bug-a-bug, bug-a-bug, bug-a-boo. In a twitter, in the throes, Oh the critter's Got me dancing on a thousand toes, Thar' she blows!
