  • SHOW ME THE WAY TO THE WIZARD

    Moment leaving OZ

    Ah

    Follow the yellow brick road

    Directions being told

    Walking and walking on caution

    500 Miles to Wizard Castle

    The Directional Arrow is going crazy pointing in all directions of North, South, East and West

    Which way?

    I guess use my own judgement in getting to the Wizard

    I heard the Wizard is mysterious and often gets furious

    I certainly don’t want to be curious

    Then again, it sounds serious

    That Wizard better have respect when I arrive, no jive

    I will not be in for any of his foolishness

    Wisdom, help me out here

    This is all I got to preserver

    Wouldn’t you know it, it is starting to Thunder and the rain is pouring

    I need to get out of the rain

    There’s a tree I can duck in

    I am hungry, and I see an apple and I will pick

    That tree branch stick slapped my hand and the tree is speaking that it is forbidden

    Don’t tell me I walked into the Adam and Eve territory by mistake

    For heaven’s sake

    I am really loss and made the wrong turn

    That directional arrow was way off

    I must find my way back to the yellow brick road

    Here I go again, walking, walking and walking

    I walked 500 miles, and finally reached the Wizard’s castle

    Knocked on the castle door, and someone answers the Wizard is out

    He will not be seeing anybody today perhaps never

    The Wizard thinks he is clever

    No respect nor regards

    Dropped in OZ and only to be locked out by the Wizard

    I am certainly in a jam

    Reminds of a song, “The Trouble I am in”

    How will I get back to New York City?

    The Wizard is out

    I guess I will have to find my way myself

    I need encouragement

    Does anybody think I will get back to New York City/

    Maybe or never

    I will have to do the best I can

    Time is wasting

    Until when

    Anybody’s guess

    Don’t even think it

    Until when
