The Wizard of Breakfast Foods

eg. Scarecrow: 'If I only had some bran'

I could eat it all three courses,
Then feed it to the horses,
A meal that I would plan.
Bran for lunches, bran for dinner,
And I'd be a whole lot thinner,
If I only had some bran.

Oh, I, think I will die.
If I can't make it mine.
I could eat it more than ever have before.
Then I'd sit.
And have some more.

I'd be healthy,
I'd be handy.
And ever so.....branny.
I'd be a happy man.
I would lock it in my cupb'rd,
And serve it up for supper,
If I only had some bran.

Or, for the tin man: 'If I only had a (pop) tart'

It is hard upon the system,
Those tarts; I must have missed 'em,
Because I am tart-free.
No, those tarts are not forthcoming,
The mere sight will send me running,
Alas, there are no tarts for me.

I'd be tarty, I'd be merry,
If I could have strawberry,
Pop tarts for lunch and tea.
Tarts for brunch, tarts for supper,
I would eat them with a cuppa,
If those tarts would come to me.

Oh I, Could eat a pie,
If it had pop-tarts in.
I'd eat until I was not very thin.
The I'd stop,
And then begin.

I'd be jolly,
I'd say 'golly',
If I could have a trolley,
Of pop-tarts steaming hot.
I would eat them in a hovel,
Or even with a shovel,
If I only had a tart.
