Dedicated to those who pulled the strings to get TSF back up and running, so I wrote this song!!!!!!!
lyrics SS music/vocals Ai
[verse 1]
Once in a long lost time,
in a land of coconuts an' limes.
A little girl slid down a hole
to a world of verses an' rhymes.
[verse 2]
A place of wobbly cadences,
filled with equally odd pretenses
lines that refuse to rhyme,
treated as a capital crime.
[chorus]
What if the Wizard of Oz were true,
an' there's a world we never knew.
People livin' beneath our feet,
what if, Dorothy's shoes were blue.
[verse 3]
Professor Price runs the place.
assisted by his henchman R.D.M.
Expect a shout if your syllables are out,
there's definitely, no pleasin' them.
[chorus]
What if the Wizard of Oz were true,
an' there's a world we never knew.
People livin' beneath our feet,
what if, Dorothy's shoes were blue.
[verse 4]
There's a tea party every Tuesday,
and an arty farty every bluesday.
Friday's Mick Jagger lookalike,
Sunday's fight night, an open mic.
[chorus]
What if the Wizard of Oz were true,
an' there's a world we never knew.
People livin' beneath our feet,
what if, Dorothy's shoes were blue.
[verse 5]
A world of old-time rockers,
swappin' crack for Beta-blockers.
Broke Zimmer frames on the stage,
wore their hair like Jimmy Page.
[chorus]
What if the Wizard of Oz were true,
an' there's a world we never knew.
People livin' beneath our feet,
what if, Dorothy's shoes were blue.
[bridge]
They call themselves a forum,
worship at the Church of Procul Harem
judge songs as if they're gods,
Say hello to the Pissheads at Odds.
[chorus]
What if the Wizard of Oz were true,
an' there's a world we never knew.
People livin' beneath our feet,
what if, Dorothy's shoes were blue.
[outro]
Don't play with an in-line verse,
you'll only make it worse.
Burn your bridges at your peril,
hear the chorus of the Gerbil !!!!

Actually the movie is based on a book that was an allegory about the railroads and the politics at the time. In the book her shoes were silver. The movie was one of the fist color films and they changed them to ruby red because they looked better on film.0

Thanks Carroll, another interesting anecdote re the shoes:
The film's producers ordered six pairs of red shoes, of slightly different sizes. Somehow the shoes got mixed up resulting in one odd pair on display in the Smithsonian, Recently, another pair came to light and guess what, they were an exact copy of those in the museum. Reunited after decades apart!
