The Wizard's Chamber Lyrics – Harold Arlen

The Wizard's Chamber Text

---

Wizard
I am Oz, the Great and Powerful Oz knows why you have come. Step forward, Tin Man!
Tin Man
Ohhhhh!
Wizard
You dare to come to me for a heart, do you?
And you, Scarecrow, have the affrontery to ask for a brain! And you - Lion!!
Well, the beneficient Oz has every intention of granting your requests!
But first, bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.
Dorothy
It's the witch. She's followed us here!
Wicked Witch
...And bring me that girl and her dog. Do as you like with the others,
but I want her alive and unharmed!
Wicked Witch
What a nice little dog. And you, my dear. What an unexpected pleasure.
It's so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness.
Dorothy
What are you going to do with my dog! Give him back to me!
Wicked Witch
All in good time, my little pretty - all in good time.
Dorothy
Run, Toto - run!
Wicked Witch
Catch him, you fool!
Dorothy
Run, Toto, run! Run, Toto, run! He got away! He got away!
Wicked Witch
Ohhh! Which is more than you will! Drat you and your dog!
You've been more trouble to me than you're worth, one way and another -
but it'll soon be over now!
Dorothy
I'm frightened, I'm frightened!
Tin Man
Look! There's Toto! Where'd he come from?
Scarecrow
Why, don't you see? He's come to take us to Dorothy.
Tin Man
Oh -
Scarecrow
Come on, fellows!
Lion
What's that! What's that?
Scarecrow
That's the castle of the Wicked Witch. Dorothy's in that awful place!
Tin Man
Oh, I hate to think of her in there. We've got to get her out! Who's them? Who's them?
Winkies
Ooo - eeeee - hoo! Yooo - ho! Ooo - eeeee - hoo! Yooo - ho!
Scarecrow
I've got a plan how to get in there. And you're going to lead us.
Lion
All right. I'll go in there for Dorothy - Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch -
guards or no guards - I'll tear 'em apart.
Ohhh! I may not come out alive but I'm going in there.
There's only one thing I want you fellas to do.
Tin Man and Scarecrow
What's that?
Lion
Talk me out of it.
Winkies
Ooo - eeeee - hoo! Yooo - ho! Ooo - eeeee - hoo! Yooo - ho!
Scarecrow
Dorothy, are you in there?
Lion
It's us!
Dorothy
Yes, it's me! She's locked me in!
Lion
Listen, fellas. It's her. We gotta get her out! Open this door!
Dorothy
Hurry, please, hurry!
Scarecrow
Hurry, we've got no time to lose!
Wicked Witch
Ha, ha, ha! Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why, my little party's just beginning.
Ha, ha, ha, eh, eh!Ring around the Rosey! A pocket full of spears! Well,
the last to go will see the first three go before her! And your mangy little dog, too!
How about a little fire, Scarecrow? Huh?
Scarecrow
No! No! No! No! Help! I'm burning! I'm burning! I'm burning!
Wicked Witch
No, don't throw that water! Ohhhhh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting!
Melting!
Leader of Winkies
She's - she's dead. You've killed her. Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!
Winkies
Hail! Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!
Dorothy
Now we can go back to the Wizard and tell him the Wicked Witch is dead!
Winkies
The Wicked Witch is dead!
