If I Only Had The Nerve

If I Only Had The Nerve - Bert Lahr/Ray Bolger/Jack Haley/Judy Garland

Yeh it's sad believe me missy when you're born to be a sissy

Without the vim and verve

But I could show my prowess be a lion not a mou-ess

If I only had the nerve

I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion

A fate I don't deserve

I'd be brave as a blizzard

I'd be gentle as a lizard

I'd be clever as a gizzard

If the wizard is a wizard who will serve

Then I'm sure to get a brain

A heart

A home

The nerve
