Before Dorothy

[Casting director]
Next!
Well, if it isn’t the friends of dorothy
Word on the street is that you three have become hard to work with

[Scarecrow]
Let us explain

[Scarecrow]
I used to live on a field
My only friend was a crow
I didn’t know what I didn’t know
Life was a breeze, filled with ease
So I decided to go down that yellow brick road

[Scarecrow]
Then I got a brain and now I’m terrified
Did you know that the Sun is running out of hydrogen
And it’s set to implode in 5 billion years?

[Scarecrow, tinwoman & lioness]
Ah!

[Scarecrow]
Now, I tried my best

[Tinwoman & lioness]
Now, she tries her best

[Scarecrow]
To give my brain a rest

[Tinwoman & lioness]
To give her brain a rest

[Scarecrow]
With my therapist

[Casting director]
Alright, tin tin, what do you got?

[Tinwoman]
I was good at chopping wood
Living a life to the max
Those are the facts, just me and my axe
Things went to hell, down I fell
When I decided to go down that yellow brick road

[Tinwoman]
Now I care too much about everything!
I can’t even look at a pussycat without bursting into tears!
And then I get all rusty, oh, it’s the worst
[Tinwoman]
Now, I’m such a sight

[Scarecrow & lioness]
Now, she’s such a sight

[Tinwoman]
Sobbing day and night

[Scarecrow & lioness]
Sobbing day and night

[Tinwoman]
Girl, it just ain’t right

[Scarecrow & tinwoman]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before dorothy
Oh, the things I would miss
Ignorance was bliss before dorothy

[Lioness]
I was meek, scared to speak
Even afraid of my tail
Nerves always on, hiding till dawn
Then came the day I got brave and I decided to go
Down that yellow brick road
[Lioness]
Now, I’ve got rage issues!
Just yesterday I got into a brawl at the mall over a parking spot
What’s wrong with me?
I mean, who shops at the mall?

[Lioness]
Now, I’ve got the nerve

[Scarecrow & tinwoman]
Now, she’s got the nerve

[Lioness]
Chutzpah and the verv

[Scarecrow & tinwoman]
Chutzpah and the verv

[Lioness]
And way too much to serve

[Scarecrow, tinwoman & lioness]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before dorothy
Oh, the things I would miss
Ignorance was bliss before dorothy
Her naivete made us glad and gay

[Gasp]

[Lioness]
Oh, like you didn’t know

[Scarecrow, tinwoman & lioness]
Oh, I long for those days
In so many ways, before dorothy
Before dorothy
Before dorothy

[Scarecrow]
Ah, who are we kidding?

[Tinwoman]
If we had to do it all over again

[Lioness]
We wouldn’t change a thing
