In a place called Kansas one day
A whirlwind struck taking Dorothy away
Zooming round and round
Till in Oz she was found
The trip began as she found her way
Along the yellowbrick road she must stay
Further along she met some new friends
A lion, a tinman and a scarcrow all three
She wasn't afraid now to journey on
They all were heading in the same direction
To find the wizard of Oz
Many obstacles they had to overcome
All needed something from him
He was the only one who knew
How to help Dorothy get home
Oh where is the Wizard of Oz they echoed
Watch out! Watch out!
Be wary of the wicked witch of the West
Staying close together was the best
Together they would see it through
Courage, a heart, a brain, the way home
Were all needed to be complete
After the Wizard of Oz they did meet
It came to pass it was time to leave
A tearful goodbye to Dorothy that day
Memories were made by all in Oz
Dorothy and Toto were now at home
Auntie Em she was longing to see
It all seemed like a dream to me
But the story lives on in all our hearts
Old and young love the Wizard of Oz
Over the rainbow there's magic for all
by Dorothy Gibbons
