What are the words to the song from the Wizard of Oz that goes something like this, "Da da da da da da da. Da da da da da da da.


I thought that was by the 'Police'...ah do do do.... ah da da da.....

the words to the song from the Wizard of Oz .....



I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

Oh man, now I'm going to be singing that song when I go to my dr. appt this morning. I can't even blame HopeAB, I can only blame myself.

I was trying to use the "My Favorite Things" tune. Yeah, that didn't work out so well.

Y'all have a great weekend (unless you've made other plans) and I'll type to you Sunday evening.

I am laughing like my head off!!

Only Wassa could make stepping in dog poop funny!

I am putting together all of the verses that have been compiled here to carry with me while letterboxing. (I intend to sing it while winter boxing this weekend!)

I'd unravel any riddle
From any individdle
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin' [With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'] Dorothy
I could be another Lincoln [You could be another Lincoln]
If I only had a brain. [If you only had a brain.]

Oh I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit and think somemore.

I would not be just a nothin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a dingaderry
If I only had a brain.

(And perhaps I'd deserve ya
And be even worthy erve ya
If I only had a brain.)

Okay, scary part is that I did that from memory. W of Oz is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE movie.

1) Last lyrics in () were part of original song that did not make it into the movie.

2) What the heck is a dingaderry? I'm scared to see what wassa will have THAT one!

Also from memory (tho I can't do it like Bert Lahr)

What makes a king out of a slave?
Courage.
What makes the flag on the mast to wave?
Courage
What makes the elephant charge his tusk
In the misty mist or the dusky dusk?
What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
Courage
What makes the Sphinx the seventh wonder?
Courage
What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
Courage
What makes the hottentot so hot?
What puts the ape in apricot?
Whadda they got that I ain't got?
{all} COURAGE
You can say that again. Whaaa ---- ?

I am at work waiting for a print job to print for someone (last minute on my color printer) but I was supposed to leave 20 minutes ago. Putting my time to good use . . .

I do a really good Wicked Witch of the East impersonation. Hmmmm, maybe a PT?

Not only is she merely dead she's really quite sincerely dead.
