Duet - Tin man and Scarecrow
We want to see the Wizard,
The Wonderful Vizard that Woz!
We hear he is a whiz of a wiz
The wonderful Wiz that Woz!
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was,
The Wizard that Woz is one
Becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz,
Becoz of the wonderful things he's done.
Is this the abode of the Wizard that Woz?
Dr. WeevilboleYes - but where do you come from?
Miss HongiMen I Some men actually escaped in the Great War!
(The girls cluster lovingly round the pair)
Tin ManIt's useless, ladies - I haven't got a heart!
page 4 ScarecrowAnd I haven't got a brain!
(The girls withdraw)
Dr. WeevilboleHow did you escape during the Great War?
ScarecrowWell, you see - we stayed at home to fight the capitalists.
Tin ManNo - he's a little - (taps his forehead) - that was during the first Great War. In the second war we stayed at home to fight the Communists.
Dr. WeevilboleDo you want to see the Wizard?
Tin ManIf you please, your Lectureship! Something happened to me in the great war - I lost my heart! No loving words - no words of kindness - have any meaning for me.
ScarecrowAnd I - during the great war - I lost my brain! It never was much good, but it was really quite valuable to me because it was the only one I had. Just imagine - I can't make up any now swear words! I can't understand what I'm doing! If only the Wizard could give me a brain!
Tin ManIf I only had a heart!
ScarecrowIf I only had a brain!
