Oz the Wiz
They call me Oz the Wiz,
You'll know who I am,
You can follow the yellow road,
It'll lead you to my humble abode
The city's green,
Just like the money I'll be making,
I'm the lord of the land,
The one that's in charge of the end

Little Dorothy lived in Kanas once,

The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, Dickory, Dock!

And he called for his fiddlers three
