lyrics

If we only had a brain
We could make a start
It would take a lot of nerve
It would take a lot of heart

Wicked Rich of the West
Too selfish to past the test
Can we come in under the wire?
Put out this fire

Oh, there's no place like home
Oh, there's no place like home

Ruby slippers, where are you now?
I wanna go back but I don't know how
Can we make it, make it like it was before?
We're not in Kansas anymore

The sky is over the rainbow
The sea is an emerald green
The journey is a yellow brick road
Prettiest thing I have ever seen

Click your heals now one, two, three
Can it be true?
Still a chance left for you and me
And our little dog too?

Oh, there's no place like home
Oh, there's no place like home

Ruby slippers, where are you now?
I wanna go back but I don't know how
Ruby slippers, what are you good for?

We're having a good time
And it won't be long
It's all gonna be fine
Soon as we're gone

Can we make it, make it like it was before?
We're not in Kansas anymore
