When

(Dorothy)
It
really was no miracle, what happened was just this.
The
wind began to switch, the house to pitch, and suddenly the hinges started to
unhitch.
Just
then, a witch, to satisfy an itch, went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for
a hitch.
And
oh, what happened then was rich.
(Munchkins)
The house began to pitch, the
kitchen took a slitch.
It
landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch,

Tech Note: I would suggest you use either
Windows Media Player or Real Player to playback these MIDI (.MID) files. Set
them as your default .MID player. That way you'll be able to open the "piano"
and minimize it. Don't use Quicktime because it opens a new page for the music
and you won't be able to view the words while the music is playing.

Please note: The lyrics and
MIDI files on the following pages are for the educational use of Florence
Sawyer School students only. The original choral music was purchased by the
Florence Sawyer School and the chorus pages are meant solely for our students'
practice.
