My Friend Dorothy lyrics
Dorothy, her friends and you
Caught in a tornado’s corkscrew
Watching evil ride a broom
Past the window of your bedroom
*
Dreaming you were far away
Not caring what the neighbours might say
No longer having to hide
Wearing your badge openly with pride
*
Leaving Kansas City
Leaving the farm
Leaving Kansas City
Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas City
*
Waking up in a strange land
Met the Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man
They had to wander, they had to roam
To try to find the way back home
*
Our friend Dorothy and them took the road
They were told it was paved with gold
It was narrow and straight, the road of others dreams
But nothing can ever be as it seems
*
Going back to Kansas
Backwards in time
Going back to Kansas
Back to Kansas in my mind
*
And I love you
Guess I always have
Going back to Kansas
Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas City
*
Back in Kansas where I belong
I have wandered and I have roamed
But believe me when I tell you
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
*
Oh tell me Mama
What does it all mean?
Was it just a dream Mama?
Just a dream, Just a dream, Just a dream
*
You showed me the colours of the rainbow
You set me free
You’re forever in my memory
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy
