Thing-a-Ling (Scared Crow)

by Mort Garson

on The Wozard of Iz (1968)

Suddenly, she came upon a blinding Yellow-Green light and she stopped, remembering the warning of the Goodie and the Tasty witch. Never travel the Yellow-Green Road. Then a voice said, help me please I can't move

Who are you? Why are you carrying all those things?

I'm the Scared Crow. I'm afraid that if I don't have, people won't think I am. In fact, I may even have a list of my possessions tattooed onto my forehead

Thing-a-Ling, Thing-a-Ling, hear that old cash register ring. Thing-a-Ling, Thing-a-Ling. See them nice goodies that I bring. The son drives a Jag. The wife drives a Linc. I drive a cad. And my 14-year-old daughter drives a mink. I have substituted think for thing. Thing-a-Ling, Thing-a-Ling, hear that old cash register ring. Thing-a-Ling, Thing-a

What shall I do? I have to stop thining and start thinking

Oh, come with me to find the Wozard I'm sure he'll give you a brain. But first let's get away from the Yellow-Green Road
