The Wiz Page #5

- Dor... Dorothy?

- Think of Teenie!

- Uh, Teenie, uh, Teenie!

- Uh, Teenie!

- It's all my fault!

Uh, Teenie! Uh, Teenie!

Oh, mighty Zeus!

And gods of the universe!

Why have you cursed

this low, mangy animal so?

Once I was a king,

a lion amongst lions!

Ruler of a beautiful

kingdom by a waterfall.

Attended by butterflies

and sparrows.

And now banished for lack of courage...

I cannot even protect these

friends who have been so kind.

Oh, I was strong and brave...

...in the subway only to be

foolish and weak again.

I led us into

the very jaws of death!

Oh, let me end it all!

- Lion, Lion!

- No!

No, let me splatter

to the four winds!

It's all right, Lion.

It's all right.

Everything's all right.

- The worst is over, my furry friend.

- No!

Would you lay an appropriate quote

on this poor beasty brother?

"Showers expected late tomorrow. "

Lion?

# There is a place #

# We'll go #

# Where there is mostly quiet #

# Flowers and butterflies #

# A rainbow lives beside it #

# And from a velvet sky #

# The summer storm #

# You can feel #

# The coolness in the air #

# But you're still #

# Warm #

# And then a mighty roar #

# Will start the sky #

# To cryin' #

# But not even lightning #

# Will be frightening #

# My lion #

# And with no fear inside #

# No need to run #

# No need to hide #

# You're standing strong #

# And tall #

# You're the bravest #

# Of them all #

# If on courage #

# You must call #

# Then just keep on tryin' #

# And tryin' #

# And tryin' #

# You're a lion #

# In your own way #

# Be a lion #

Come on, be a lion.

# I'm standing strong #

# And tall #

# You're the bravest #

# Of them all #

# If on courage #

# You must call #

# Keep on tryin' #

# And tryin' #

# And tryin' #

# I'm a lion #

# In my own way #

# I'm a lion #

- # A lion #

- # A lion #

# I'm a lion ##

- How do we get in?

- And how do you do?

- Good evening there, brother.

- This place is nice.

The service entrance

is at the side.

We're here to see the Wiz.

This is where the Wiz lives,

isn't it?

May I welcome you to the Emerald City.

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# I want to be seen green #

# Wouldn't be caught dead red #

# 'Cause if you are seen green #

# It means you've got mean bread #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# You've got to be seen in green

to show that your stuff's laid #

- # If you're not seen green #

# You'd better be wearin' jade #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# You've got to be seen green #

# Don't tell him

your cupboard's bare #

# That you gave up

one week's feed #

# To pay for your colored hair #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

# Ahh, ahh, ah #

An announcement

from the great and powerful Oz.

Oz.

I thought it over

and green is dead.

'Til I change my mind,

the color's red.

# I wouldn't be seen green #

# Ooo, ooo, ooo

Ah, ah #

# I wouldn't be caught dead #

# And if I'm caught at all #

# Then catch me in dead red #

# Ooo #

# You've got to be dead red #

# You've got to be real hot #

# So throw away those green gems #

# And wear rubies

on your yacht #

# You've got to be dead red #

# You've got to have

flash and flair #

# And if you're not seen red #

# Then you shouldn't be seen #

# Nowhere #

How quick fashion

goes down the drain.

Last week when

you all was wearin' pink...

...already for me, red was old.

The ultimate yellow brick is gold.

That's the new color, children, hit it.

# Golden gold #

# Golden gold #

# Golden gold #

# Golden gold #

# You've got to be seen gold #

# Watch out for the new kind

you've got to have old gold #

# Like some from a gold mine

You've got to be wearin' gold #

# The 24 karat kind

and once you've shined it up #

# It should ought

to make you blind #

# You've got to be seen in gold

to show you're super slick #

# It helps to pay tips and tolls

It's the ultimate yellow brick #

# It's the ultimate #

# Gold #

# Gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold #

# Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold ##

An announcement

from the great and powerful Oz.

Send up the one

with the silver slippers.

Do you know how lucky you are?

I've been trying to get

an appointment for two years!

No one sees the Wiz!

- I knew you'd make it.

- Who does your hair?

Can you come

for dinner next Wednesday?

- Can I give you my card?

- Can I take you home?

And...

Only the one with

the silver slippers!

You go ahead, Dorothy.

"He who hesitates... "

Etcetera, etcetera.

Uh, I'd like to speak

to the Wiz.

Hey, Mike!

Excuse me...

Excuse me, sir, Mr. Wiz?

Speak!

I'm not alone, sir. I'm here with

my three companions and my dog, Toto.

Forget it.

No riffraff.

Uh, they're not

riffraff, sir.

They're my friends

and they've traveled far to see you.

I said, forget it!

Then, then, I'm not

comin' up there.

What?

Either you see my friends, sir,

or you forget it.

Send up the riffraff.

What's happening?

Step forward.

Sure wish I was back

at the library.

So! You wanted

to meet the Wizard!

What do you snivelling

deadbeats want?

That's close enough!

My name is Dorothy and...

And I'm, I'm

tryin' to get home.

And these, these

are my friends.

This is the Scarecrow.

He, he wants...

Tell him.

A brain, Your Majesty.

Some of your great "Wiz... Dom. "

Uh, and this is the Tin Man.

I been a two-bit,

carny hustler all my life.

And I want a heart,

O mighty and powerful Wiz.

A heart... So I can love...

...all humanity.

And what do you want,

you overstuffed animal cracker?

I wanna get the hell outta here!

He wants some courage, sir.

So he can go back to his old job...

of being king of the jungle.

Is this so, Lion?

Anything she says.

Can you help us, sir?

- What's in it for me?

- We'd be very grateful.

How about your pretty

silver slippers?

No!

No! You dare say no...

...to the great Wizard of Oz?

I, I can't take these off 'til I get

back home, but I'll send 'em to you.

The great Oz has decided...

...not to grant any of your wishes!

Unless, unless...

...you, Dorothy, kill Evillene...

...the Wicked Witch of the West!

The great Oz has spoken!

Oh, Mr. Wiz, please!

Come in.

I'm sorry I dragged you all here.

And look how it turned out.

Have you made

your decision yet, Dorothy?

I don't think

there's any choice.

Dorothy, you don't

have to do it!

We could stay right here!

The Emerald City's not a bad place.

Get a small apartment,

chip in together.

Hey, I bet in no time

we'd fit right in.

But I could never

be happy here.

Besides, I'd... Never get home.

I have to go all the way,

even if it means to Evillene.

Come on, Toto, good boy.

Then I'm going with you.

Likewise!

Me too.

Come on.

Which road do we take?

Road? This one...

...and you may be sorry.

- Then how do we find Evillene?

- Don't worry.

She'll find you.

Owww!

# Now when I wake up

in the afternoon #

# Which it pleases me to do

don't nobody bring me no bad news #
