Off To See the Wizard

I’m off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard because
I’m a snail who could do with some turbo
Turbo to gain some applause
So, I’m off to see the wizard
Along the yellow brick road
It shall take me a month to arrive there
Because I’m so lazy and slow
And once I arrive at the wizard
I shall ask him for one small request
To grant me speedy like powers
Or maybe a fast pair of legs
Yes, I’m off to go see the wizard
Cannot wait for my turn in the sun
Perhaps I’d better make a move on
Because I haven’t the journey begun
