Mark Sloniker Lyrics
"Oil Can"

At the end of "The Wizard of Oz", the Tin Man said,
"I know I got a heart now" (he said)
"I know I got a heart now, 'cuz I can feel it breaking"
And at the end of "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Boo Radley finally comes out (yes he does)
Boo Radley finally comes out, and he saves the day
Well, I know that my life is not a movie
And I know that I'm not Boo Radley
But I know,I know I got a heart now
I finally got a heart now

At the end of "Casablanca", Bogie says,
"It's the start of a beautiful friendship"
He says, "It's the start of a beautiful friendship"
As if nothing else even mattered
And at the end of "The Velveteen Rabbit",
That Rabbit becomes Really Real (yes he does)
That Rabbit becomes Really Real
Even though he's old and worn and tattered
Well, I know that my life is not a story book
Yet I know, sometimes life doesn't get good
'Til the shiny part wears off
Then I know what makes us really real then
Is that we're shining on the inside
'Cuz life's gonna break your heart
It does it 'cuz it loves us
Life's got to break our hearts
To let the love flow through the cracks
Thank you for breaking my heart
Now everything is new again
And everything is true again

At the end of "The Wizard of Oz", Glenda says,
"You could've got home all along"
She said, "You can always get home all along, when in
your heart you're really trying"
At the end of "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy says,
"You all look so familiar to me"
"You all helped me find my way home,
Even when I was cryin',"
Well, now I know that my life IS a movie
And now I know that we're ALL Boo Radley
Ready to save the day!
And I know,I know I got a heart now
I know I'm really real now
Well, it's a brand new start now
Because I know that I can feel now

At the end of "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy says,
"Our love can take us anywhere"
So click your heels together three times with me
And say 'There's no place like home, there's no place
Like home, there's no place like, "
At the end of "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy says,
"Don't forget your oil can",so don't forget your oil can
Don't forget your oil can, don't forget your oil can
Don't forget your oil can, don't forget!
