On the Yellow Brick Road
The Wicked Witch casts her spell on the Four
____________________
Wicked Witch
A-hah! So, you won't take warning, eh? All the worse for you, then! I'll take care of you now instead of later!
Hah! When I gain those ruby slippers, my power will be the greatest in Oz! And now, my beauties!
Something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell!
Poppies! Poppies! Poppies will put them to sleep.
Sleep - now they'll sleep.
Dorothy
There's Emerald City! Oh, we're almost there at last! At last!
It's beautiful, isn't it? Just like I knew it would be. He really must be a wonderful Wizard to live in a city like that!
Lion
Well, come on, then. What are we waiting for?
Scarecrow
Nothing! Let's run!
Dorothy
Yes, let's run!
Scarecrow
Come on - come on!
Tin Man
Hurry! Hurry!
Scarecrow
Oh, look! Come on!
Tin Man
It's wonderful! The Emerald City!
Dorothy
Oh - oh - what's happening? What is it? I can't run any more. I'm so sleepy.
Scarecrow
Here, give us your hands and we'll pull you along.
Dorothy
Oh no, please. I have to rest for just a minute. Toto...where's Toto?
Scarecrow
Oh, you can't rest now. We're nearly there.
Don't cry - you'll rust yourself again!
Lion
Come to think of it, forty winks wouldn't be bad.
Scarecrow
Don't you start it, too!
Tin Man
No! We ought to try and carry Dorothy.
Scarecrow
I don't think I could, but we could try.
Tin Man
Let's
Scarecrow
Yes.
Tin Man
Oh - now look at him! This is terrible!
Scarecrow
Here, Tin Man - help me.
Tin Man
Oh!
Scarecrow
Uh. Oh, this is terrible! I can't budge her an inch! This is a spell, this is!
Tin Man
It's the Wicked Witch! What'll we do? HELP! HELP!
Scarecrow
It's no use screaming at a time like this. Nobody will hear you! HELP!
HELP! HELP! Help! It's snowing!
No, it isn't! Yes, it is! Oh, maybe that'll help! Oh, but it couldn't help!
It does help! Dorothy, you're waking up!
Dorothy
Oh, Oh.
Lion
Ah - ah. Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?
Dorothy
Look, he's rusted again! Oh, give me the oil can, quick! Oh!
Scarecrow
Here! Oil him.
Dorothy
Oh.
Lion
He is rusted.
Dorothy
Here.
Lion
Here.
Dorothy
Oil him!
Lion
Oil him!
Dorothy
Quick....!
Wicked Witch
Oh, Curses! Curses! Somebody always helps that girl! But shoes or no shoes,
I'm still great enough to conquer her. And woe to those who try to stop me!
Dorothy
Come on, let's get out of here. Look - Emerald City is closer and prettier than ever!
( Optimistic Voices )
You're out of the woods, You're out of the dark, You're out of the night.
Step into the sun, Step into the light.
Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the Face of the Earth or the sky.
Hold onto your breath, Hold onto your heart, Hold onto your hope.
March up to the gate and bid it open - open.

Doorman
Who rang that bell?
All Four
We did!
Doorman
Can't your read?
Scarecrow
Read what?
Doorman
The notice!
All Four
What notice?
Doorman
It's on the door as plain as the nose on my face! It's a - Oh - oh - oh.
All Four
Bell out of order - please knock.
Doorman
Well, that's more like it. Now, state your business.
All Four
We want to see the Wizard.
Doorman
Oh - oh - the Wizard? A - but nobody can see the great Oz! Nobody's ever seen the Great Oz! Even I've never seen him!
Dorothy
Well then, how do you know there is one?
Doorman
Because - he's a b - I - Oh - you're wasting my time!
Dorothy
Oh - Oh, please. Please, sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
Doorman
Prove it!
Scarecrow
She's wearing the ruby slippers she gave her!
Doorman
Oh - so she is! Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That's a horse of a different colour! Come on in!
