Somewhere over the Rainbow
Dorothy: 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
[Bridge]
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

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?


Munchkin land

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
Glinda: 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
Munchkin man: And oh what happened then was rich
Munchkins:
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!
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
Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch
Of what was once the wicked witch!

Munchkin 1:
We thank you very sweetly
For doing it so neatly!
Munchkin 2:
You killed her so completely
That we thank you very sweetly!
Glinda: Let the joyous news be spread;
The Wicked Old Witch, at last, is dead!
Munchkins: Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead, 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's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
Mayor:
As mayor of the Munchkin City
In the county of the land of Oz
I welcome you most regally

Mayor: If she
Barrister: Is morally, ethically

City Father #1: Spiritually, physically
City Father #2: Positively, absolutely
All City Fathers: Undeniably and reliably dead!
Coroner: As Coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead
She's really most sincerely dead

Mayor: Then this is a day of independence
For all the Munchkins and their descendants,

Barrister: If any
Mayor: Yes, let the joyous news be spread
The wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
Munchkins: Hooray!
Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead, 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's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!

Yellow Brick Road

Munchkins and Dorothy:
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 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
You're off to see the Wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!


If I only had a Brain

Scarecrow: 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
Dorothy: With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
Scarecrow: Oh, I would 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 nuffin'
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

Gosh, it would be awful pleasn'

to reason out the reason

for things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'd deserve ya

and be even worthy of ya

If I only had a brain



If I Only had a Heart

Trees: Said a Tinman rattling his jibs

To a straw man sad and weary eyed

Tinman: Oh the smith Trees:

gave me tin ribs Ooh

But forgot to put

a heart inside. Ooh

Trees: Then he banged his hollow chest and cried...

Tinman: 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 a 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 Trees: Ooh
Above a voice sings low
Trees: Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Tinman: I hear a beat...

Dorothy: How sweet!

Tinman: 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

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
Oh I may be presumin'

That I could be kind-a-human.

I'd be friends with the sparrows

and the boy that shoots the arrows

Dorothy: You could stay young and chipper

Tinman: And I'd lock it with a zipper if I only

Dorothy: If you only

Trees: If you only

All: Had a Heart


Dorothy, Tinman and Scarecrow:
We're off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard of Oz
We hear he is a wizard of whiz if ever a wiz there was
If ever oh ever a wiz there was the wizard of Oz is one because
Scarecrow: Because,
Tinman: because,

Scarecrow: because,

Tinman: because,

Scarecrow and Tinman: because...
Dorothy: Because of the wonderful things he does
All Three: We're off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard of Oz!


If I Only had the Nerve

Lion: Said a lion, poor neurotic lion,

to a miss who listen to him rave.

Oh! the Lord made me a lion,

But the Lord forgot to make me brave.

Then his tail began to curl and wave.
Life is



sad, believe me, Missy
When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve

But I could change my habits
Never more be scared of rabbits
If I only had the nerve.

I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandelion
A fate I don't deserve
But I could show my prowess
Be a lion not a mowess
If I only had the nerve

Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tinman: Oh, you'd

be in your stride,

a king down to the core

Dorothy: You could roar the way

you never roared before.

Lion: And then I rrwoof,

and roar some more.

I would show the dinosaurs,

Who's king around the fores,

A king they better serve.

Why with my regal Beezer

I could be another Caesar

if I only had the nerve.

I'd be brave as a blizzard.

Tinman: 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.

Tinman: A heart.

Dorothy: A home.

Lion: The nerve.

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion:

Oh, we're off to see the wizard.

The wonderful wizard of oz.

We hear he is a whiz of a whiz,

if ever a whiz, there was...

if ever, oh ever a whiz, there was

a 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.

Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to the gate and bid it open, open!

King of the Forest

Lion:
If I were king of the forest
Not queen, not duke, not prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, and not cotton, and not chintz
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl-woof
(spoken)

As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel!
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow!
(Sung) 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!
'FI,'FI, If I, were king!
Just king!
Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man:
Monarch of all you survey
Lion: Monaaaaaaarch. Aw, Shucks!
All Four:

Of all I/you survey!
Dorothy: Your Majesty, if you were King,

you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Lion: Not nobody, not nohow!
Tin Man: Not even a rhinoceros?
Lion: Imposserous!
Dorothy: How about a hippopotamus?
Lion: Why, I'd trash him from top to bottomamus!

Dorothy: Supposin' you met an elephant?
Lion: I'd wrap him up in cellophant!
Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?






Lion: I'd show him who was king of the forest!
Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man: How?
Lion: How?
Courage! What makes a king out of a slave?
Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave?
Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk,

in the misty mist or the dusky dusk?
What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder?






Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder






Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot?
What have they got that I ain't got?

Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man: Courage!

Lion: You can say that again!
Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man:

For courage is the thing of things
Lion: With courage I'd be king of kings
All four: And the whole year round
I'd/you'd be hailed and crowned by every living thing
Lion: 'FI,

Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man: 'Fhe,

Lion: 'FI,

Dorothy, Scarecrow, & Tin Man: 'Fhe,

All Four: 'FI/'Fhe,were King!

The Jitterbug

Dorothy: Did you just

hear what I just heard?

Scarecrow: That noise didn't

come from an ordinary bird

Dorothy: It may be just a

cricket or a critter in the trees

Tinman: It's giving me the jitters

in the joints around my knees

Lion: I think I see a shadow

and it's fuzzy and it's furry

Scarecrow: I havn't got a brain

but I think I ought to worry

Tinman: I havn't got a heart

but I feel a palpatation

Lion: As monarch of the forest

I don't like the sitchyashun

Dorothy: Are you gonna stand around

and let him fill us full of

horror? (to lion)

Lion: I'd like to roar them down...

But I think I lost my roarer

Dorothy: Who's that

hiding in the tree tops?

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 just be careful of that rascal

keep away from The Jitterbug! The Jitterbug!

Tinman/Scarecrow/Lion/Dorothy:

Yoo-hee-hoo! Yo-ho!(repeat ad Librium.)


Over the Rainbow reprise

Dorothy: 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...

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Winkies: Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! 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's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
