zamrud, emerald CITY GREEN:
I want to be seen green
Wouldn't be caught dead, red
'Cause if anda are seen green
It means anda got mean bread
You've got to be seen green
To tampil that you're stuff's layed
If you're not seen green
anda better be wearing jade
Oh, you've got to be seen green
Don't tell them your cupboard's bare
That anda gave up one week's feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh
AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GREAT POWERFUL OZ:
I thought it over and green is dead
'Till I change my mind, the color is red
zamrud, emerald CITY RED:
I wouldn't be seen green
Ooo! Oo! Oo! Ah! Ah!
I wouldn't be caught dead
And if I'm caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht
You've got to be dead, red
You've got to have flash and flair
And if you're not seen red
Then anda shouldn't be seen nowhere
Ah!
How quickly fashion goes down the drain.
Last week when anda all was wearin' pink
Already for me red was old.
The ultimate brick is gold.
That's the new color, children
zamrud, emerald CITY GOLD:
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
anda got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
anda got to have old gold
Like some from a emas mine
anda got to be wearin' gold
The twenty four carat kind
And once you've shined it up
It should ought to make anda blind, ah!
anda got to be seen in gold
To tampil that you're super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
It's the ultimate yellow brick
It's the ultimate
Gold
Golden gold
Golden gold

Golden gold
Golden gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold!

so anda wanted to meet the wizard
let me tell anda that you've come to the right place
shall i make anda a frog atau a lizard
anda should see the strained expression on your face
if the way i come on is fright'ning
that's the way i felt like coming on today
have anda ever been kissed oleh lightning
let me tell you, that will make anda go away
i fly
and the magic of my power takes me higher
to a level where the clouds turn into fire
in the warmness of the api i feel fine
just keep your eyes open and the magic anda will see
it will whistle on the wind as it emanates from me
it's a strong and true vibration
anda can feel it on your skin
so come and take my hand and we will dance
upon the wind
ahhhhhhh

Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If anda don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if anda would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If anda don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if anda would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind
Say what anda wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
anda can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If anda don't hear me laugh
And if anda happen to come around
Well, anda best not make me frown
For I just might knock anda down
I'm a mean ole lion
anda know I'm ready to fight
And turn your hari into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All anda strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let anda slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
anda just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
anda better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let anda slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
anda just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
anda can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion

If anda don't hear me laugh
And if anda happen to come around
Well, anda best not make me frown
For I just might knock anda down

And turn your hari into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright

This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let anda slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
anda just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
