Over The Rainbow
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

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?

Munchinkinland
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

Glinda: 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.

Munchkins: 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.

Dorothy: 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.

Munhkin: And oh, what happened then was rich.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus repeated)
... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.

The Merry Old Land Of Oz
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

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
'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!

And a couple of tra-la-las

That's how we laugh the day away,
With a ho-ho-ho!
Ha-ha-ha!
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,
And 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 dimpled 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
And a ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
In the Merry Old Land of Oz
Ha-ha-ha-ho-ho-ho--

The Jitter Bug (Cut from the final edit)
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

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 the knees.

SCARECROW: I think I see a jijik, And he's fuzzy and he's furry.
I haven't got a brain, But I think I ought to worry.

TIN MAN: I haven't got a heart, But I've got a palpitation

LION: As Monarch of the Forest, I don't like the sitchy-ation.

DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around, And let him fill us full of horror?

LION: I'd like to roar him down ..., But I think I've lost my roarer.

TIN MAN: It's a whozis.

SCARECROW: It's a whozis?

LION: It's a whatzis.

SCARECROW: It's a whatzis?

TIN MAN: Whozat?

LION: Whozat?

DOROTHY (singing chorus):

Who's that hiding
In the tree top?
It's that rascal
The Jitter Bug

Should you catch him
Buzzin' round you,
Just look out for
The Jitter Bug

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 Jitter Bug does.

So be careful
Of that rascal
Keep away from
The Jitter Bug

Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

LION, TINMAN, SCARECROW AND DOROTHY: We're off to see the wizard

We here 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 of the wonderful things he does.
We're off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard of oz!
