Cabby
Cabby! Cabby! Just what you're looking for! Take you any place in the City, we does!
Dorothy
Well, would you take us to see the Wizard?
Cabby
The Wizard? The Wizard! I - I - Well, yes, - of course, but first I'll take you to a little place where you can tidy u a bit - what?
Dorothy
Oh, thank you so much. We've been gone such a long time, and we feel so mess- What kind of a horse is that?
I've never seen a horse like that before!
Cabby
No - and never will again, I fancy. There's only one of him, and he's it. He's the Horse of a Different Color, you've heard tell about.

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!

Man of Oz

Scarecrow
Well, we'd better hurry if we're going to see the Wizard!
Doorman
Here - here! Everything is all right. Stop that now - just - Every - it's all right! Everything is all right!
The Great and Powerful Oz has got matters well in hand - I hope - and so you can all go home!
And there's nothing to worry about.
Get out of here now - go on! Go on home, and I - I - Go home.

Dorothy
If you please, sir. We want to see the Wizard right away. All - four of us.

Tin Man

Dorothy
I'll be home in time for super!
Lion
In another hour I'll be King of the Forest. Long live the King!

If I Were King Of The Forest

If I were King of the Forest, Not queen, not duke, not prince.
My regal robes of the forest, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel.
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.
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!
If I - If I - were King!
Just King!
Monarch of all I survey -- Mo--na-a-a--a-arch Of all I 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 rhinocerous?
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!
All Four
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?
All Four
Courage!
Lion
You can say that again, Huh?
Doorman
Go home! The Wizard says go away!
All Four
Go away?
