If I Only Had the Nerve / We're Off To See the Wizard

Life is sad, believe me, Missy

When you're born to be a sissy

Without the vim and verve

But I could show my prowess

Be a lion not a mouse

If I only had the nerve

I'm afraid there's no denyin'

I'm just a dandelion

A fate I don't deserve

But I could change my habits

Never more be scared of rabbits

If I only had the nerve!

I'd be in my stride

A king down to the core

I could roar the way I've never roared before

And then I'd GRR

And roar some more

I'd show the dinosaurus

Who's king around the forest

A king he better serve

I'd be brave as a blizzard

I'd be gentle as a lizard

I'd be clever as a gizzard

If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve

Then I'm sure to get a brain

A heart

A home

The nerve

We're off to see the wizard

The wonderful wizard of Oz

We hear he is a wizard of whiz 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!
