Bert Lahr — If I Only Had the Nerve

Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy When you're born to be a sissy Without the vim and verve But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-ess If I only had the nerve I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion A fate I don't deserve I'd be brave as a blizzard.... I'd be gentle as a lizard.... I'd be clever as a gizzard.... If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve Then I'm sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!
