Dorothy
Follow the Yellow Brick Road? Follow the Yellow Brick...? Well, now which way do we go?
Scarecrow
Pardon me. That was is a very nice way.
Dorothy
Who said that?......Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.
Scarecrow
It's pleasant down that way, too.
Dorothy
That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?
Scarecrow
Of course, people do go both ways!
Dorothy
Why - you did say something. didn't you?
Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you make up your mind?
Scarecrow
That's the trouble.  I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain, only straw.
Dorothy
Well, how can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow
I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?
Dorothy
Yes, I guess you're right.
Well, we haven't really met properly, have we?
Scarecrow
Why no.
Dorothy
How do you do?
Scarecrow
How do you do?
Dorothy
Very well, thank you.
Scarecrow
Oh, I'm not feeling at all well. You see, it's very tedious being stuck up here all day long with a pole up your back.
Dorothy
Oh, dear - that must be terribly uncomfortable.  Can't you get down?
Scarecrow
Down? No, you see, I'm - well, I'm -
Dorothy
Oh, wel, here - let me help you.
Scarecrow
Oh, that's very kind of you - very kind.
Dorothy
Oh, dear - I don't quite see how I can -
Scarecrow
Of course, I'm not bright about doing things, but if you'll just bend the nail down in back, maybe I'll slip off and -
Dorothy
Oh......yes.
Scarecrow
Ohhhhh!
Whoops! There goes some more of me again!
Dorothy
Oh. Does it hurt you?
Scarecrow
Oh, no. I just keep picking it up and putting it back in again. My! It's good to be free!
Dorothy
Ohhhh!
Scarecrow
Did I scare you?
Dorothy
No, no I - I just thought you hurt yourself.
Scarecrow
But I didn't scare you?
Dorothy
No, of course not.
Scarecrow
I didn't think so.
Boo! Scat! Boo!
You see, I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around just to eat in my field and -
and laugh in my face. Oh, I'm a failure, because I haven't got a brain!
Dorothy
Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?
Scarecrow
Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could -

( If I Only Had a Brain )

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.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
If you 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 nothin' 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.

Dorothy
Ohh!
Wonderful! Why, if our scarecrow back in Kansas could do that, the crows'd be scared to pieces!
Scarecrow
They would?
Dorothy
Yes
Scarecrow
Where's Kansas?
Dorothy
That's where I live. And I want to get back there so badly, I'm going all the way to the Emeralk City
to get the Wizard of Oz to help me.
Scarecrow
You're going to see a Wizard?
Dorothy
Um-hmm
Scarecrow
Do you think if I went wtih you this Wizard would give me some brains?
Dorothy
I couldn't say. But even if he didn't you'd be no worse off than you are now.
Scarecrow
Yes, that's true.
Dorothy
But maybe you'd better not. I've got a Witch mad at me, and you might get into trouble.
Scarecrow
Witch? Huh! I'm not afraid of Witch! I'm not afraid of anything - oh, secept a lighted match.
Dorothy
I don't blame you for that.
Scarecrow
But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains. Look - I won't be any trouble,
because I don't eat a thing, and I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?
Dorothy
Of course, I will.
Scarecrow
Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard!
Dorothy
Oh - well, you're not starting out very well.
Scarecrow
Oh, I'll try! Really, I will.
Dorothy
To Oz?
Scarecrow
To Oz!

( We're Off To See The Wizard )

We'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.
We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
