LYRICS

Lion
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!
