The Wonders of the World is a song from The Wizard of Oz Musical
Lyrics
Da-Dah
Oh, yes indeed...
and now mirabile dictu,
et curibus pluribus umbul,
or to use the vernacular,
behold Professor Marvels Magical Lantern
To see the wonders of the world
you wont need to go to far from home
not to far at all.
Dorothy ther're are other ways to see
the world, so shift in your gaze.
To this extravagent appliance
mainly magic, slightly science
with no stressful science plans
as you dont have to move from kansas sea
the unabridged assembled wonders
of the world
fly the coop and cross the ocean
time and distance set in motion
grab this chance to wonder yonder
all the earth is ours to ponder
fromt the poles to the equator
no one could provide a greater view
there's the nile now some don't
give a hoot that it's the longest river
but we know in miles of course
its four-one-eighty sea to source
its nature at its most prolific
pyramids are quite terffic too
so welcome to the waiting wonders
of the world.
sometimes we may feel something
simply can't be real
like a road beneath your feet
thats paved with gold
i would be inclined to maintain
an open mind
for truth is very strange if
truth be told
there's old popocatepetal
new york city, glass and metal
everest unconquered mountain
over five miles high and countin
here's the artic snow ans polar bears
and northern lights and solar flares
a myriad exqusite wonders of the world
imagine red and blue
on the mountains of peru
and sahara sands of yellow burning white
in jungles black and green
fearsome creatures never seen
other than right now
Oh, thats not right!
i'm so sorry that was from my
private collection.
moving rapidly along
we dont have to take it slowly
heres tibet remote and holy
angel falls and venezuela
effile tower, humpback whale.
a moment feeling all the thrills of
being near the seven hills of rome
oh so many sites to savour
this has merely been a flavour
maybe time for one more wonder
very strange it looks like thunder
but the point that im conveying
is you see it all while staying home
and home is many of the wonders
of the world
the unabridged assembled wonders
of the world
Professers marvel's patent wonders
of the
world
