Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star.
She brings you good news_ or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Kansas a miracle oc___curred___

(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,
Which__ was not a healthy si_tuation for_ the wicked witch.

Oh, I’d roar the way I never roared before__ and then I’d rrwoof, and roar some more__

And perhaps I’d deserve you and be even worthy erv you,

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.
