Scarecrow: Did you hear that? He'll announce us at once. I've as good as got my brain.

Tin Girl: I can fairly hear my heart beating.

Kurt: I'll be home in time for supper and be In Blaine's arms.

Scarecrow: Who is Blaine, Kurt?

Kurt: Blaine's the love of my life. (He shows them the picture of Blaine out of his basket) I miss him and my dad so much.

Scarecrow: I sure you'll get back to him and your father.

Cowardly Lion: In another hour. I'll be king of the forest. Long live the king! (Singing)
If I were king of the forest
Not queen
Not duke
Not prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin
Not cotton
Not chintz
I'd command each thing
Be it fish or fowl
With a woof!
And a woof!
And a royal growl
As I'd click my heel
All the trees would kneel
And the mountains bow
And the bull kowtow
And the sparrow would take wing.
If I... If I were king
Each rabbit would show respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect to me
Though my tail would lash
I would show compash
For every underling
If I...
If I were king
Just queen (Kurt, Scarecrow, and Tin Girl roll down the rug then they wrap him in rug like a royal cape. Tin Girl breaks the flower pot with her axe making it look like a crown and placed it on Lion's head) Monarch of all I survey
(Chuckling)
Monarch
Of all I survey

Kurt, Scarecrow, Tin Girl bow to him.

Kurt: Your majesty, If you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?

Cowardly Lion: Not nobody, not nohow!

Tin Girl: Not even a rhinoceros?

Cowardly Lioness: Imposserous!

Kurt: How about a hippopotamus?

Cowardly Lion: Why, I'd trash him from top to bottom-us.

Kurt: Supposing you met an elephant?

Cowardly Lion: I'd knot him in cellophant!

Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?

Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who's king of the forest!

Kurt, Scarecrow, and Tin Girl: (Together) How?

Cowardly Lion: How? (Removes the rug) Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the spinkx the Seventh Wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes Hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?

Kurt, Scarecrow and Tin Girl: (Together) Courage!

Cowardly Lion: (Smiling) You can say that again.(Confused) Huh?
