About "If I Only Had the Nerve / We're Off to See the Wizard (Quartet) / Poppies / The Spell" by Bert Lahr
Bert Lahr's Cowardly Lion trembles and blusters through this medley, his comic terror a foil to the quartet's bright resolve. The poppies' drowsy spell and the Wizard's incantation swirl into a Technicolor fever dream—vaudevillian energy undercut by a childlike fear of the unknown.
