Andrew Lloyd Webber
If I Only Had the Nerve / We’re Off to See the Wizard
[LION]
Yeh, it's 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!

Oh, 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 grrrr
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....
[TIN MAN]
I'd be gentle as a lizard....

[SCARECROW]
I'd be clever as a gizzard....

[ALL & 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!

[ALL]
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!
