Original Cast of OZ: A New Musical - Mr. Baum Lyrics

MR. BAUM, MR. BAUM
I'M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER.
MR. BAUM, COULD YOU MAKE ME ANOTHER BOOK?
I LIVE WITH MY GRANDMA
SINCE MY PAPA DIED.
I READ TO HER EVERY NIGHT.
SHE CANNOT USE HER EYES.
I READ YOUR BOOK SO MUCH, SHE TOLD ME THAT IT'S TIME
FOR A NEW BOOK,
SO WOULD YOU WRITE ONE FOR ME?
YOUR FRIEND, THEODORE, FROM BROOKLYN
MR. BAUM, MR. BAUM
I'M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER.
MR. BAUM, I LIKE YOUR BOOKS VERY MUCH.
MY MOTHER TOOK A VISIT TO THE LIBRARY TODAY.
SHE SAID YOUR BOOKS WERE GONE,
SO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL TUESDAY.
I KNOW WHICH BOOKS ARE YOURS
'CUZ THEY'RE TATTERED, AND THEY'RE FRAYED.
I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE IF DOROTHY COULD GO SWIMMING
AND MEET SOME DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE WATER.
I'D LIKE TO LEARN TO SWIM MYSELF,
BUT I AM ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD
AND THIN,
SO PAPA THINKS I WILL NOT FLOAT VERY WELL.
YOUR FRIEND, PAUL WILLIAM LAWRENCE
MR. BAUM, BA BAUM BA MAUM BA BAUM BAUM... ETC.
Dear Sam,
I was very glad to get your nice letter, with the pictures you drew, and to know that you like my books. I think you are very clever to make all my strange characters. I hope to hear from you again, Sam, for to be able to make things must be nicer than just to think them. Always your friend, L. Frank Baum.
MR. BAUM
I HAVE READ ALL OF YOUR BOOKS.
MY CHUM AND I PLAY OZ.
I AM GLINDA THE GOOD,
AND SHE IS OZMA.
WHEN WE PLAY OZ I FEEL SO VERY GREAT.
I AM TWELVE YEARS OLD,
AND MY FRIEND IS ONLY EIGHT.
I DON'T THINK I'M TOO BIG FOR OZ.
DO YOU?
YOUR FRIEND, MARIAN WINCHESTER
P.S. - PLEASE WRITE.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE HAS THE MOST POWER
OZMA OR GLINDA?
AND PLEASE WRITE MORE BOOKS.
LOVE, MARIAN
THEODORE
PAUL
YOUR FRIEND
