SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  This challenge was really a proxy challenge/thread bleed from the Thought for the Day - Feb. 8 thread.  You'll have to read it to understand what I'm talking about.  Basically, it involves the film, The Wizard of Oz . . . It was a 3-part challenge to write (or finish) the following songs:  (1)  Munchkins Hangin' In Dem Trees (a/k/a Strange little Fruit); or (2) The Storkin' Blues; or (3) Elementary Feminism (a/k/a Glenda The Good Witch Gets Guilded)

The Hanging Munchkin by Bradypus
(Tune: Somewhere Over The Rainbow)

Somewhere up in the treetops
Way up high
There a Munchkin is hanging
See him against the sky.

Somewhere up in the treetops
Just in view
Why is that Munchkin hanging?
Why has his face turned blue? 

One day he left the city green
And whistled happy and serene
Along the gold way
When something odd did catch his eye
A talking lion he did spy
And so he ran away

Somewhere over the hilltop
Violet haze
He met a talking scarecrow
Wandering in a daze

Somewhere in the next valley
Orange hue
Tin man's axe hit the Munchkin
Poor Munchkin's head needs glue

And so he fell red in a ditch
Was found there by a wicked witch
And flying monkey
The monkey took him in the air
But couldn't take him to its lair
Its grip was wonky

Somewhere up in the treetops
Munchkin fell
Caught his head in the branch
His face then began to swell

Somewhere up in the treetops
Green and Brown
Munchkin looks like a scarecrow
O, Woodman, cut him down.
