Lyrics for the Songs Sung by the Cowardly Lion
in the Wizard of Oz
Lyrics For:
"If I were the King of the Forest"
Sung by: the Cowardly Lion
If I were King of the Forest, Not queen, not duke, not prince.
My regal robes of the forest, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel.
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.
And the sparrow would take wing - If I - If I - were King!
Each rabbit would show respect to me. The chipmunks genuflect to me.
Though my tail would lash, I would show compash
For every underling!
If I - If I - were King!
Just King!
Monarch of all I survey -- Mo--na-a-a--a-arch Of all I survey!
Lyrics For:
"If I only had the Nerve"
Sung By: the Cowardly Lion
Life is sad, believe me Missy,
When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could change my habits,
Nevermore be scared of rabbits
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandylion
A fate I don't deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess
If I only had the nerve.
Oh, I'd be in my stride, a king down to the core
Oh, I'd roar the way I never roared before
And then I'd rrrwoof
And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus
Who's king around the fores'
A king they'd better serve.
Why with my regal beezer,
I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve.
Life is sad, believe me Missy,
When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could change my habits,
Nevermore be scared of rabbits
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandylion
A fate I don't deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess
If I only had the nerve.
Oh, I'd be in my stride, a king down to the core
Oh, I'd roar the way I never roared before
And then I'd rrrwoof
And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus
Who's king around the fores'
A king they'd better serve.
Why with my regal beezer,
I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve.
Life is sad, believe me Missy,
When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could change my habits,
Nevermore be scared of rabbits
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandylion
A fate I don't deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess
If I only had the nerve.
Oh, I'd be in my stride, a king down to the core
Oh, I'd roar the way I never roared before
And then I'd rrrwoof
And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus
Who's king around the fores'
A king they'd better serve.
Why with my regal beezer,
I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve.
