Hi there,

Just saying hello and submitting a lyric entry.


Dorothy’s Reply
(words and music by Allison Tartalia)

dorothy strikes with her pen again
she was a nerdy girl and words were her weapon of choice
so she picked up her guitar and gave it a voice
but you know i’m not the kind to hold a grudge
i sing these things off my chest straight away
and i always keep an appetite for the s**t i dish out
so grab a fork--
touché

you suggest i surrender
well i never knew that there was a war
i came i saw i clicked my ruby red heels
and i was out the door
you run a pretty impressive city
i know it can’t be easy being green
but you’ve got a bunch of disgruntled munchkins
i’m just the loudest one that you’ve seen

refrain:
cause the wicked witch of the west
she already put me to the test
said, “girl, you better change out of the blue gingham dress
cause from here on out it’s gonna be a mess”
and those damn winged monkeys really freaked us out
they were so furious and funky
and the trees laughed and threw things this way and that
said, “if you ain’t got the chops, dot, you’d better turn back”
the trees laughed and threw things this way and that
said, “if you ain’t got the chops, dot, you’d better turn back”

so you would like to believe that
dorothy told her story for revenge
well i hate to break it to you babe
no one gives a f**k about the wizard in the end
you want some sympathy
it’s hard to sort out all the wheat from the chaff
well if you don’t like wheat may i kindly suggest
don’t build your house in kansas

refrain

well in the end it’s just a crazy dream
we’re both spinning on the same damn wheels
of that hollywood machine
in the end it’s just a crazy dream
and no one know where the house is gonna land
in the end it’s just a crazy dream
and you were there and you were there
and you were there and you were there…
