Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Who could have known
Or ever proposed
That Kansas farm girl
Would land back in Oz
Who could have guessed
All this no less
From that moment on
Would be such a mess
All because Dorthy
Went High Royalty
Ever since those ruby reds
She's had a need for the bling
Now she likes to buy
Everything in her sight
With Munchkins for servants
Who serve her outright
Then came the day
She ran out of dough
And the Lollipop Guild
Mentioned the road
Where few have been told
And even less know
That the Yellow Brick Road
Is really made out of gold
That's the happiest she's been
Since she arrived
As the shimmer and glimmer
Cha-Chinged in her eyes
She called her three friends
Clueing them in
The Lion, the Scarecrow
And of course the Tin Man
As a matter of fact
Tin Man bring your ax
I have just the job
For you to get down with that
That's now where we are
I am sad to report
The Yellow Brick Road
Is now nothing but dirt
But sweet Dorthy dear
Has plenty of stuff
Though she still has her eyes
On the emeralds of Oz
I'd like to thank Daniel Turner for
knocking on my noggin with this idea.
Unless it all goes terribly wrong...
then forget I even mentioned this.
