There’s a garden spot, I’m told,
Where it’s never too hot and
It’s never too cold;
Where you’re never too young and
You’re never too old,
Where you’re never too thin or tall,
And you’re never, never, never too
Too, too anything at all,
Oh! You’re not too mad and
You’re not too sane,
And you don’t compare and
You don’t complain,
All you do is just sit tight,
‘Cause it’s all so, so, so
Downright right.

Lyric excerpt: “The Merry Old Land of Oz”
words by Yip Harburg, music by Harold Arlen
This little-known verse to the well-known song that introduces Dorothy and her companions to the Emerald City was written for but not used in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
