I have received numerous emails/ guestbook entries asking me why certain songs weren’t on the lyrics page. Like I stated on the page, I did not choose to display the lyrics to every single song. If you want lyrics to some of the minor songs, go to my links page, and you might just find a few sites that do have all the lyrics. In the meantime, I may add more songs to the page! Thank you.
Over the Rainbow
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high. There's a land that I heard ofOnce 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 your 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?
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, you 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 sign and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong! The merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Follow the Yellow Brick Road/You're Off to See the Wizard
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
You're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz.
You'll find he is a wiz 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.
You're off to see the Wizard. The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
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 where buys 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 a Heart
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 kinda 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 boy 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
Yeah, it's sad, believe me Missy, When you're born to be a sissyWithout the vim and verve
But I could show my prowess, Be a lion, not a mowess
If I only had the nerve
I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandylion
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
The Merry Old Land of Oz
Ha, ha, ha, Ho, ho, ho, And a couple of tra - la - lasThat's how we laugh the day away, In the Merry Old Land of Oz
Bzz, bzz, bzz, Chirp, chirp, chirp, And a couple of la - di - das
That's how the crickets crick all day, In the Merry Old Land of Oz
We get up at twelve And start to work at one
Take an hour for lunch And then at two we're done
Jolly good fun!
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
Ha, ha, ha Ho, ho, ho Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
That's how we laugh the day away, In the merry old land of Oz
Pat, pat here, pat, pat there And a couple of brand new straws
That's how we keep you young and fair, In the merry Old Land of Oz
Rub, rub here, Rub, rub there Whether you're tin or brass
That's how we keep you in repair, In the Merry Old Land of Oz
We can make a dimple smile Out of a frown
Can you even dye my eyes To match my gown?
Uh-huh!
Jolly Old town!
Clip, clip here, clip, clip there, We give the roughest claws
That certain air of savoir faire, In the Merry Old Land of Oz
Ha!
Ha, ha, ha,Ho, ho, ho, Ha, ha, ha, ha, Ha!
That's how we laugh the day away, In the Merry Old Land of Oz
How we laugh the day away
Ho, ho, ho, Ha, ha, ha, Ha, ha, ha, Ha, ha, ha, Ha, ha, ha, Ha, ha, ha
In the merry old land of Oz
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.
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 (Outtake)
Dorothy: Did you just hear what I just heard?
Lion: That noise don't come from no ordinary bird.
Dorothy: It may be just a cricket or a critter in the trees.
Tin Man: It's giving me the jitters in the joints around my knees.
Scarecrow: Oh, I think I see a jijik and he's fuzzy and he's furry. I haven't got a brain, but I think I oughtta worry!
Tin Man: I haven't got a heart, but I got a palpitation.
Lion: As Monarch of the forest, I don't like this situation.
Dorothy: Are you gonna stand around and let em fill us full of horror?
Lion: I'd like to roll him down-- but I think I lost my roarer.
Tin Man: It's a whozis.
Scarecrow: It's a whozis?
Lion: It's a whatzis.
Tin Man: It's a whatzis?
Lion: Whozat?
Tin Man: Whozat?
Scarecrow: Whozat?
Dorothy: Whozat?
Who's that hiding
In the tree top?
It's that rascal
The Jitterbug.
Should you catch him
Buzzin' round you
Keep away from
The Jitterbug!
Oh, the bats and the bees and the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible horrible buzz
But the bats and the bees and the breeze in trees
Couldn't do what the Jitterbug does
So be careful
Of that rascal
Keep away from-
Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion: The Jitterbug!
Oh the jitter!
Oh the bug!
Oh the jitter-
All: Bug-bug-a-bug-bug-bug-bug-bug-a-boo!
In a twitter
In a throw
Scarecrow:All the critters got me dancing on a thousand toes!
Tin man:Thar she blows!
