[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

[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]

Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain

[TIN WOODMAN]
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 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 that 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

[LION]
Yeah, 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 mouse
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
I'd be gentle as a lizard
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

SCARECROW

[Verse]
Said a scarecrow swingin' on a pole
To a blackbird sittin' on a fence,
"Oh! the Lord gave me a soul
But forgot to give me common sense,
If I had an ounce of common sense."

[Refrain]
I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flow'rs,
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head, I'd be scratchin',
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle
For any individle
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln,
If I 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 nuffin',
My head all full of stuffin',
My heart all full of pain.
And perhaps I'd deserve you
And be even worthy erv you
I I only had a brain.
Only had a brain.


TIN WOODMAN

[Verse]
Said a tinman rattlin' his gibs
To a strawman sad and wery-eyed,
"Oh! the Lord gave me tin ribs,
But forget to put a heart inside."
Then he banged his hollow chest and cried.

[Refrain]
When a man'a 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 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 that shoots the arrows,
If I only had a heart.
Picture me,
A balcony,
Above a voice sings low,
"Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
I heart a beat.
Now sweet!
Just to register emotion,
"Jealousy," "Devotion,"
And really feel the part.
I would stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart.
Only had a heart.


COWARDLY LION

[Verse]
Said a lion, poor neurotic lion,
To a miss who listened to him rave,
"Oh! the Lord forgot to make me brave."
Then his tail began to curl and wave.

[Refrain]
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 dandy lion,
A fate I don't deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion, not a mowess,
If I only had the nerve.
Oh, I'd
Be in my stride,
A king down to the core.
Oh, I'd roar the way I never roared before,
And then I'd rrrwoof,
And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus
Who's king around the forres',
A king they better serve.
Why, with my regal beezer
I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve.
Only had the nerve.
