If I Only Had the Nerve (Original Soundtrack from 'The Wizard of Oz')

If Only I Had A Nerve - So What!/Bert Lahr/Jack Haley/Ray Bolger

Written by：Harold Arlen

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 mouse

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

We're off to see the wizard

The wonderful wizard of Oz

We hear that he is a whiz of a wiz

If ever a wiz was

There If ever oh ever a wiz there was

The wizard of Oz is one because

Because because because because

Because because of the wonderful things he does

We're off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Oz
