SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW (Dorothy)
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I’ve 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?
IF I ONLY HAD THE NERVE (Cowardly Lion- Sing the whole song as a solo PLEASE TRY A COWARDLY LION ACCENT if you are serious about auditioning for The Lion)
Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy when you're born to be a sissy, without the vim and verve
But I could change my habit, never more be scared of rabbits If I only had the nerve
I'm afraid there's no denying I'm just a dandy-lion, a fate I don't deserve
But I could show my prowess, be a lion, not a mouse. 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 rrwuff…And roar some more
MERRY OLD LAND OF OZ (Emerald City Guard)
Ha ha ha Ho ho ho and a couple of tra-la-la's
That's how we laugh the day away In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, Chirp, chirp, chirp and a couple of la-di-da's
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-la's
That's how we laugh the day away In the merry old land of Oz
COME OUT, COME OUT (Glinda, Munchkins etc.)
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
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
IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN (Scarecrow- Sing the whole song as a solo)
I could while away the hours, Conferrin' with the flowers, Consulting 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 ev'ry riddle for any Individdle. In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I'll be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln If I only had a brain.
Oh, I, could tell you why the oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never thunk before, and then I'd sit and
think some more.
IF I ONLY HAD A HEART (Tin Man- Sing the whole song as a solo)
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 of 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!
THE JITTERBUG (Jitterbug Soloist)
Who's that hiding in the treetops? It's that rascal; The Jitterbug
Should you catch him, buzzin' round you, Keep away from The Jitterbug!
Oh, the bats and the bees and the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz. But the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees couldn't do what the Jitterbug does
So just be careful of that rascal. Keep away from The Jitterbug. The Jitterbug.
DING DONG, THE WITCH 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 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's the merry-oh, sing it high,
sing it low Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
