What was the inspiration for the lyrics of “Tin Man”?
Dewey: “As for “Tin Man”…the lyric was built around the one line, so grammatically well written: “Oz never did give nothin’ to the Tin Man, that he didn’t already have.” We all know that this is the obvious central theme of “The Wizard of Oz”…that all the characters already possessed the qualities that they were seeking.
