Characters:
Dorothy: (speaking part and sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow)
Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It's not a place you can
get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far
away -- behind the moon -- beyond the rain –
Glenda: (speaking part and sing)
Well, I'm a little muddled. The Munchkins
called me because a new witch has just
dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the
East. And there's the house, and here you
are, and that's all...
Sings: Come out, come out, wherever you are
And meet the young lady who fell from a
star.
MUNCHKIN NO. 1
We thank you very sweetly
For doing it so neatly.
MUNCHKIN NO. 2
You've killed her so completely
That we thank you very sweetly.
MAYOR
As Mayor of the Munchkin City
In the County of the Land of Oz
I welcome you most regally
BARRISTER
But we've got to verify it legally
To see...
CORONER (sings)
As Coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
She's really, most sincerely dead.
THREE TOTS (sing)
We represent the Lullaby League, the Lullaby League,
The Lullaby League
And in the name of the Lullaby League
We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland.
THREE TOUGH KIDS (sing)
We represent the Lollypop Guild, the
Lollypop Guild,
The Lollypop Guild
And in the name of the Lollypop Guild
Wicked Witch:
Very well -- I'll bide my time -- and as
for you, my fine lady, it's true, I can't
attend to you here and now as I'd like, but
just try to stay out of my way....
I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!
(laughs)
SCARECROW (speaking part and sings: If I only had a brain)
1. That's the trouble. I can't make up my
mind. I haven't got a brain -- only straw.
2. Oh, I'm not feeling at all well. You see,
it's very tedious being stuck up here all
day long with a pole up your back.
Trees:
What do you mean - she doesn't want any of
those apples? Are you hinting my apples
aren't what they ought to be?
TinMan: (speaking part and sing If I only had a heart)
Oh -- well, about a year ago -- I was
chopping that tree -- minding my own
business -- when suddenly it started to
rain.... and right in the middle of a chop, I...I
rusted solid. And I've been that way ever
since.
Lion: (speaking part and sing If I only had a nerve)
Put 'em up! Put 'em.... ...up!
Which one of you first? I'll fight
you both together if you want! I'll fight
you with one paw tied behind my back. I'll
fight you standing on one foot.
DOORMAN
Ooooh! The Wizard? But nobody can see the
Great Oz! Nobody's ever seen the Great Oz!
Even I've never seen him!
CABBY
Cabby! Cabby! Just what you're looking
for! Take you any place in the City, we
does.
Guard:
He's in conference with himself on account
of this....
…..trouble with the Witch. And even if he
wasn't you wouldn't have been able to see
him anyway on account of nobody has - not
even us in the Palace!
Oz:
You dare to come to me for a heart, do you?
You clinking, clanking, clattering
collection of caliginous.... Junk!
Toto: must show us how they will act like a dog!!
