[a] Take it easy. Ow! You got my finger! [b] Right on my finger! [c] Now lookit, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn't have any brains at all. [d] Well, why don't you use them? When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble. See? [e] Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know. [f] What's the matter - gonna let a little old pig make a coward out of you? [g] Gosh, Mrs. Gale. [h] Swell.
[1] That way is a very nice way. [2] It's pleasant down that way, too. [3] Of course, people do go both ways! [4] That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain -- only straw. [5] I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they? [6]Why, no. [7] How do you do? [8] 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. [9] Down? No, you see, I'm -- Well, --- I'm --- [10] Oh, that's very kind of you -- very kind. [11] Of course, I'm not bright about doing things, but if you'll just ... bend the nail down in the back, maybe I'll slip off and ... . [12] Ohhhh -- [13] Whhooops! Ha-ha -- there goes some of me again! [14] Oh, no --- I just keep picking it up and putting it back in again. [15] My, it's good to be ... free! [16] Did I scare you? [17] But I didn't scare you? [18] I didn't think so. [19] Boo! Scat! [20] Boo! You see, I can't even scare a crow! They come from miles ... around just to eat in my field and laugh in my face! [21] Oh, I'm a failure, because I haven't got a brain. [22] Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could -- I could while 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. I'd unravel every riddle For any individ'le In trouble or in pain. With the thoughts I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln, If I only had a brain [23] 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 some more. I would not be just a nuffin' My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry ...Life would be a ding-a-derry If I only had a brain! [24]Gosh, it would be awful pleasin' To reason out the reason For things I can't explain. Then perhaps I'll deserve you, And be even worthy erv you If I only had a brain. [25] They would? [26] Where's Kansas? [27] You're going to see a Wizard? [28] Do you think if I went with you this Wizard would give me some brains? [29] Yes -- that's true. [30] Witch? Huh! I'm not afraid of a witch! I'm not afraid of anything -- except a lighted match. [31] But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains. Look - I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat a thing -- and I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you take me with you? [32] Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard! [33] Oh, I'll try! Really, I will. [34] To Oz!
[35] With Dorothy Gale: We're off to see the Wizard The Wonderful Wizard of Oz We hear he is a whiz of the Wiz 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!
[36] Come along, Dorothy -- you don't want any of those apples. Hmm! [37] Oh, no! It's just that she doesn't like little green ... worms! [38] Go! Go! [39] I'll show you how to get applies. [40] Hooray! Hooray! I guess that did it! Help yourself. [41] What? [42] Oil can what! [43] He said his mouth. [44] The other side... . [45] Beautiful! What an echo!
[46] With Dorothy Gale: No heart?
[47] But you've just been saying how much you want a heart. [48] I'm not afraid of her. I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not! Stuff a mattress with me! Hah! [49] Oh, you don't think we're going to stand by and let her get away with fireballs and bees, do you? [50] No, sir! [51] I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you? [52] That's right. [53] To Oz?
