Somewhere 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?

Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
When all the cows are sleeping
And the sun has gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said….

I’m a dingle dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that

When all the hens were roosting
And the moon behind the cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud…..

When the dogs were in the kennels
And the doves were in the loft
Up jumped the scarecrow
And whispered very soft…


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 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 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.


Wake Up
Wake up rise and shine. The witch has gone and now you’re fine
Her magic is no match for mine, Wake up rise and shine.
Dor-oth-y, rise and shine
(Touches Dorothy with wand)
Lil’ dog-gy, rise and shine (Touches Toto with wand),
Lion, that’s three, rise and shine
(Touches Lion with wand)
Wake up rise and shine.

Wake up rise and shine. The witch is gone and now we’re fine
Glinda’s magic works every time, Wake up rise and shine.
Up we get, rise and shine
C’mon my pet, rise and shine
(Dorothy to Toto)
We’ll get there yet, rise and shine
Wake up rise and shine.

Wake up rise and shine. The witch has gone and now you’re fine
Her magic is no match for mine, Wake up rise and shine.
Wake up rise and shine
Wake up rise and shine



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!

Follow The Yellow Brick Road/We'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.

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.

If Only I 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 nuthin' 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 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....
Tin Man I'd be gentle as a lizard....
Scarecrow I'd be clever as a gizzard....
Dorothy If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve.
Scarecrow Then I'm sure to get a brain,
Tin Man a heart,
Dorothy a home,
Lion the nerve!

The 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!
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!
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 - Ho - ho - ho - Ho - ho - ho - ho -
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!
