Lyrics
I used to frighten people just by showing up in a cloud of smoke
But now Im getting older and I fear Im losing my touch
Messing with the Munchkins only aggravates the Ninny of the North
And every time I go to Oz the Wizard interferes a little too much
But now my sister had to let a house fall on her head
The little girl from Kansas wears the slippers on her feet
Theres something evil witches need to do before were dead
So Ill devise a plan thats sure to make my life complete
Ill concoct a potion that would rot the scarecrows brains if he had any
light a stick of dynamite here where the tin cans heart should be
tie the lion down and Ill just poke him til he screams in fear and agony
Then after Ive handled those three what shall I do with Dorothy?
Once I had a dream that I could conquer all of Munchkinland
I tried to make a harsh reality of my dream
Threatening the munchkins caused nightmares for the Lullaby League
(I havent had much of a career)
Thats all I got out of it the Ninny interfered with my scheme
But now my sister had to let a house fall on her head
The little girl from Kansas wears the slippers on her feet
Theres something evil witches need to do before were dead
So Ill devise a plan thats sure to make my life complete
Ill concoct a potion that would rot the scarecrows brains if he had any
light a stick of dynamite here where the tin cans heart should be
tie the lion down and Ill just poke him til he screams in fear and agony
Then after Ive handled those three what shall I do with Dorothy?
Now my sister had to let a house fall on her head
The little girl from Kansas wears the slippers on her feet
Theres something evil witches need to do before were dead
So Ill devise a plan thats sure to make my life complete
Ill concoct a potion that would rot the scarecrows brains if he had any
light a stick of dynamite here where the tin cans heart should be
tie the lion down and Ill just poke him til he screams in fear and agony
Then after Ive handled those three what shall I do with Dorothy?
