Lion. Said a lion, poor, neurotic lion.
To a miss who'll listen to him rave.
Â"Oh, the lord made me a lion, butÂ…the lord forgot to make me braveÂ".

Dorothy. Then his tail began to curl and wave.

Lion. LifeÂ…isÂ…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 denying I'm Just a dandelion,
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,
I could roar the way I never roared before,
and then I'd r-r-roof and roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus whose king around the forest
a king they'd better serve,
why with my regal beezor I could be another Caesar,
if I only had the nerve. I'd be brave as a blizzard.

Tin Man. I'd be gentle as a lizard.

Scarecrow. 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.

Dorothy. A home.

Lion. The nerve.
