Somewhere over the rainbow
Things seem to have lost their way
Since Dorthy took to-the sky of blue-in a big red ballon
Nothing has been the same

The Munchkins kept munching on lollipops
And have put on their share of weight
Things were much worse than anyone thought
When the entire land of OZ was caught stuffing face

If you find it sad, all the flubber and flab
Then welcome to the club
And speaking of such a line of fitness clubs
Might just be the rub to do the job right

Leave it up to the Flying Monkeys
To be the first when it comes to a plan
To turn things around with a quick calorie count
And the implementation of a strict sugar ban

Of course there was an uproar
Especially from the Lollipop Twins
Whose lollipop guild wouldn't stand for such swill
Above all are our laws and sweets are a big part of them

Which started a peaceful riot
(AKA) an all-out war
When the argument said how they should live
All they really want is to be left alone

And of course, once the damage was done
The Wizard of OZ got involved
Making it very clear we'll take over from here
But none of this fuss was the government's fault

As crazy as it sounds there's a lot of it going round
On this and that side of the rainbow
On the day Dorthy left was the start of this mess
Isn't that the way things seem to go

Live and let live, the little people insist
In Munchkin and lands beyond
Be it a hit or a miss, it is what it is
Just shut your monkey mouth and move on along
