Continuity: After Dorothy is awakened par the Tin Man's tears, she sits up and wipes her face with both hands. In the suivant shot, however, when Toto awakens, Dorothy is still sleeping because her hands and arms are still down.

Revealing mistakes: When the Red people are dancing in front of a camera at the émeraude City, there is a giant screen that shows the people dancing. A red woman goes in front of the people and does a dance, but her movement on the screen does not match the moves that she makes in front of the camera.

Lyrics to the émeraude City Sequence

posted by lucaslover528

(Sung par The émeraude City Citizens & Richard Pryor)

EMERALD CITY GREEN:

I want to be seen green
Wouldn't be caught dead, red
'Cause if toi are seen green
It means toi got mean bread

You've got to be seen green
To montrer that you're stuff's layed
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade

Oh, you've got to be seen green
Don't tell them your cupboard's bare
That toi gave up one week's feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh

AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GREAT POWERFUL OZ:

I thought it over and green is dead
'Till I change my mind, the color is red

EMERALD CITY RED:

I wouldn't be seen green
Ooo! Oo! Oo!...

You can't win
You can't break even
And toi can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like
You're stayin' the same

You get in

And toi only got yourself to blame
You can't win Child
(You can't win Child)
You can't break even
And toi can't get out of the game

You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things'll get better
(Just to ease your state of mind)
(So toi lean back, and toi smoke that smoke)
(And toi drink your glass of wine)
So toi can't win, Child
You can't break even

Lyrics to Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News

posted by lucaslover528

When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
'Cause I wake up already negative
And I've wired up my fuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news

If we're going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
toi can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin' dues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news

No bad news
No bad news
Don't toi ever bring me no bad news
'Cause I'll make toi an offer, child
That toi cannot refuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news

When you're talking to me
Don't be cryin' the blues
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
toi can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news

Bring some message in your head
ou in something toi can't lose
But don't toi ever bring me no bad news
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But don't toi bring me no bad news

You can't win
You can't break even
And toi can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
You get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame

You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And toi can't get out of the game

You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things 'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So toi lay back
And toi smoke that smoke
And toi drink your glass of wine

Lyrics to Be A Lion

posted by lucaslover528

There is a place we'll go
Where there is mostly quiet
fleurs and butterflies
A arc en ciel lives beside it
And from a velvet sky
A summer storm
toi can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm

And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky
To cryin'
But not even light'ning
Will be frightening my lion
And with no fear inside
No need to run
No need to hide
You're standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all

If on courage
toi must call
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
You're a lion
In your own way
Be a lion

Come on be a lion

I'm standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage toi must call
Keep on tryin'
And tryin'
And tryin'
I'm a lion
In my own way
I'm a lion
A lion
A lion
A lion

Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice toi see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to chant joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for

Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, toi see, has got our hearts chant so joyfully
Just look about

Can't toi feel a brand new day?
Can't toi feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up

Lyrics to The Feeling That We Have

posted by lucaslover528

(Sung par Theresa Merrit)

Put your arms around me child
Like when toi bumped your shin
Then you'll know I l’amour toi now
As I loved toi then

Though toi maybe trying sometimes
And I'll need you
And you're not there
You know I may get mad
And turn away
But toi know that I still care

But toi cannot ask for more
Than can come from me
I am older than toi are
And one jour you'll see

If I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
It's only because I just want toi to be
Everything that I see in my dreams

And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
When toi know that toi can come
Running to me
Whenever...

Lyrics to accueil

posted by lucaslover528

Think of home
Home

When I think of home
I think of a place where there's l’amour overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing

Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back there
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's l’amour and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again

Suddenly my world has changed it's...

Lyrics to So toi Wanted To See The Wizard

posted by lucaslover528

so toi wanted to meet the wizard
let me tell toi that you've come to the right place
shall i make toi a frog ou a lizard
toi should see the strained expression on your face
if the way i come on is fright'ning
that's the way i felt like coming on today
have toi ever been kissed par lightning
let me tell you, that will make toi go away
i fly
and the magic of my power takes me higher
to a level where the clouds turn into fire
in the warmness of the feu i feel fine
just keep your eyes open and the magic toi will see
it will whistle on the wind as it emanates from me
it's a strong and true vibration
toi can feel it on your skin
so come and take my hand and we will dance
upon the wind
ahhhhhhh
so toi wanted to meet the wizard

You just keep on Keepin' on the road that toi choose

The first song that Michael Jackson sings, "You Can't Win," was originally written for the stage version for the Winkies to sing to Dorothy about the futility of escaping from Evillene. The song was cut from the stage version of the musical during previews but was included in the film as the Scarecrow's song.

In his book "Making Movies," Sidney Lumet admits that the filming of the émeraude City Sequence on the plaza at the World Trade Center had to be cut short because of wind and scheduling. The Port Authority would not allow plus time to fix the mistakes, the red sequence had to be shortened...

Lyrics to Believe In Yourself

posted by lucaslover528

If toi believe
Within your cœur, coeur you'll know
That no one can change
The path that toi must go

Believe what toi feel
And know you're right, because
The time will come around
When toi say it's yours

Believe there's a reason to be
Believe toi can make time stand still
toi know from the moment toi try
If toi believe
I know toi will

Believe in yourself, right from the start
You'll have brains
You'll have a heart
You'll have courage
To last your whole life through

If toi believe in yourself
If toi believe in yourself
If toi believe in yourself
As I believe in you

Lyrics to Soon As I Get accueil

posted by lucaslover528

Miss One?
Munchkins?

There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know I've tried
But it's turning me around

I'm not sure that I'm aware
If I'm up ou down
Or here ou there
I need both feet on the ground

Maybe I'm just going crazy
Let myself get uptight
I'm jouer la comédie just like a baby
But I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be alright

Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home

In a different place
In a different time
Different people around me
I would like to know of that different world
And how different they find me

And just what's a Wiz
Is he big, will he scare me?
If I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?...

Lyrics to He's The Wizard

(Sung par Thelma Carpenter & The Munchkins)

Sweet thing,
Let me tell toi 'bout
The world and the way things are.
You've come from a different place
And I know you've traveled far.
Now that you've told me what it is,
I'd better point toi towards the Wiz.

He's the Wiz,
He's the man,
He's the only one,
Who can give your wish right to ya.
He's the Wizard.
He'll send toi back through time
By running magic through ya.
All of the super power's his.
Listen and I'll tell toi where he is.

He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz.
He's the Wizard.
There's the way to émeraude City.
That's not too far, is it?
He's the Wizard.

Lyrics to Slide Some Oil To Me

posted by lucaslover528

(Sung par Nipsey Russel & The Dixieland Band)

Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If toi don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine

Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if toi would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!

Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend

Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind

Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired

Now watch me dance!

And let me lubricate my mind

Lyrics to I'm A Mean Ole Lion

posted by lucaslover528

Say what toi wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
toi can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion

You'll be standing in a draft
If toi don't hear me laugh
And if toi happen to come around
Well, toi best not make me frown
For I just might knock toi down
I'm a mean ole lion

toi know I'm ready to fight
And turn your jour into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion

All toi strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let toi slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
toi just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion

Look,
toi better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let toi slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
toi just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion

Lyrics to Is This What Feeling Gets?

posted by lucaslover528

(Dorothy's Theme)

Feeling?
Feeling?
Swear to God this is plus than I can deal with
Thinkin' back on that old song
Where did I go wrong par caring and sharing
Mean together no matter
I can't stand not knowing
Is this what feeling gets
A hope for happy endings?
Alone and scared
Something I don't want to be
What did he see when he looked inside of me?
If this is just a dream
How come I feel like screaming?
This is the real world
Gotta do what toi must, girl

Well
Can I?
Can I?
Is this what feeling gets?
So is there a happy ending?
There's nothing here but the fear of
Will I try?
And can I stare it in the eye
Not ever knowing why?

Please
Please
Can someone tell me why?
