Nathan Lane - If I Only Had The Nerve lyrics
[Nathan Lane - If I Only Had The Nerve lyrics]
Neurotic lion to a miss who'll listen
To him rave "Oh, the lord made me a lion
But…the lord forgot to make me brave"
Dorothy then his tail began to curl and wave
Lion life…is…sad believe me, Missy
When you're born to be
A sissy without the vim and verve but
I could change my habit's never more be
Scared of RABBITS! if I only had
The nerve i'm afraid there's no
Denying I'm Just a dandelion, a
Fate I don't deserve but
I could show my prowess be a lion not a mouse
If I only had the nerve oh
I'd be in my stride, a king
Down to the core, I could roar
The way I never roared before
And then I'd r-r-roof
And roar some more i would show the
Dinosaurus whose king around the forest a
King they'd better serve, why with my regal
Beezor I could be another Caesar
If I only had the nerve i'd
Be brave as a blizzard
Tin Man i'd be gentle as a lizard
Scarecrow i'd be clever as a gizzard
Dorothy if the wizard is a
Wizard who will serve
Scarecrow then I'm sure to get a brain
Tin Man a heart
Dorothy a home
Lion the nerve
