Song lyrics to ‘If I Only Had the Nerve’ from ‘The Wizard of Oz’

Song lyrics to If I Only Had the Nerve from The Wizard of Oz, sung by Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion

Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr)
Yeah, 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 mouse,
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 ...

Tin Man (Jack Haley)
I’d be gentle as a lizard ...

Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)
I’d be clever as a gizzard ...

Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland)
If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve.

Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)
Then I’m sure to get a brain ...

Tin Man (Jack Haley)
... a heart

Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland)
a home

Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr)
the nerve!
