Centennial Scandals [1940]

Duet - Tin man and Scarecrow

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.

Tin Man

Is this the abode of the Wizard that Woz?

Dr. Weevilbole

Yes - but where do you come from?

Miss Hongi

Men I Some men actually escaped in the Great War!

(The girls cluster lovingly round the pair)

Tin Man

It's useless, ladies - I haven't got a heart!

page 4 Scarecrow

And I haven't got a brain!

(The girls withdraw)

Dr. Weevilbole

How did you escape during the Great War?

Scarecrow

Well, you see - we stayed at home to fight the capitalists.

Tin Man

No - 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. Weevilbole

Do you want to see the Wizard?

Tin Man

If 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.

Scarecrow

And 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 Man

If I only had a heart!

Scarecrow

If I only had a brain!
