A Very Bad Wizard (Theme)

Lyrics

[ Begin Music ]
Wizard of Oz
As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking.
Wizard of Oz
The great Oz has spoken. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Dorthy
Who are you?
Dorthy
Who are you?
Dorthy
A very bad man.
Wizard of Oz
I'm a very good man.
Wizard of Oz
Good man.
Wizard of Oz
They think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have.
Wizard of Oz
Pay no attention to that man.
Wizard of Oz
Anybody can have a brain.
Dorthy
You're a very bad man.
Wizard of Oz
I'm a very good man, just a very bad wizard.

Wizard of Oz
The great Oz has spoken. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. The great Oz has spoken.
Dorthy
Who are you?
Wizard of Oz
I am the great and powerful Wizard of OZ.
Dorthy
You are. I don't believe you.
Wizard of Oz
Well, I'm afraid it's true. There's no other wizard except me.
Scarecrow
You humbug.
Wizard of Oz
Yes, yes, it's exactly so. I'm a humbug.
Dorthy
You're a very bad man.
Wizard of Oz
Oh, no my dear, I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad wizard.
Scarecrow
What about the heart you promised tinman and the courage you promised cowardly lion?
Tinman
And Scarecrow's brain?
Wizard of Oz
Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth, or slinks through smiley seas has a brain. Back where I come from we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers, and when they come out they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have, but they have one thing that you haven't got - a diploma.
