Shorty

by Marian Neilson

Munchkin! Munchkin!
We represent the lollipop gin,
The lollipop gin
Wish to welcome you to…
Are you a Munchkin?
"No just short."
Midget, shorty,
You are Shorty!
With curly, blonde hair and bright, blue eyes
You put Dorothy to shame.
Wearing the ruby slippers you rule
Oz!
Not Ozfest! But Oz…
The Emerald City, The Haunted Forest, Munchkinland
And all the rest of Oz.
You beat the Wizard and the Wicked Witch of the West!
Hail to Shorty!
The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion
And even the Scarecrow
Worship you!
Off with their heads!
Wait this isn't Alice in Wonderland,
This is The Wizard of Oz!
There is no Cheshire Cat or little white rabbit.
There is only Queen Shorty,
Who says let them eat cake NOT
Off with their heads!
