Twentieth Century Oz - For the Wiz

Mr Wiz, Munchkin Land Be so kind to lend a hand... Cartwheeling cottage? how daft is that Landed quite safely, all level and flat Some midget fellow said, who else heard that I think ‘Wicked Westie’ might just have gone splat Tin men and lions and blokes full of straw Red shoes and rainbows and bricks on the floor Witches determined to lay down the law Little dog yapping and blue birds galore Lion so scared he’s effectively tame Geezer wants ticker inside his tin frame The chap with a head full of straw wants a brain Dorothy wants to go home... shame Old men and wizards, one and the same Thinks Dottie’s plight is a bit of a game hidden away in a small secret room Tells her, ‘Go forth and fetch me a broom’ But Dot knows a half decent witch from up north This tale’s full of witches and she’s third or fourth With witches from east and west done up like kippers The North witch gives Dottie the west witch’s slippers Dimwit companions, each a good fellow Prancing about on a road painted yellow Keep Dottie safe from that nasty grim reaper Present to the wizard the requisite sweeper And lo, he's impressed and he loudly applauds her But this dodgy wizard’s a bit of a fraudster Spouts loads of stuff about going home soon But then he clears off in his hot air balloon The lion got brave and the scarecrow got clever The tin man’s new heart might well beat forever Ain’t no pleasing Dottie, she can’t go home, never Them slippers, said Northy, click em together So she clicked them together, those slippers in red There’s no place like home she repeatedly said Sounds like she might have been right off her head But then she wakes up and shes home in her bed And so, Mr Wiz, this may be remiss But what do you think... Could you film this? 16 November 2018
