Yellow brick road

The Yellow Brick Road is a fictional element in the 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by American author L. Frank Baum. The road also appears in the several sequel Oz books such as The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904) and The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913).

The road's most notable portrayal is in the classic 1939 MGM musical movie The Wizard of Oz, loosely based on Baum's first Oz book. In the novel's first edition the road is mostly referred to as the "Road of Yellow Bricks". In the original story and in later films based on it such as The Wiz (1978), Dorothy Gale must find the road before embarking on her journey, as the tornado did not deposit her farmhouse directly in front of it as in the 1939 film.

Road's history

The following is an excerpt from the third chapter of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy sets off to see the Wizard:

..."There were several roads near by, but it did not take Dorothy long to find the one paved with yellow bricks. Within a short time she was walking briskly toward the Emerald City; her Silver Shoes tinkling merrily on the hard, yellow road-bed ".

    Yellow Brick Road

    by: Angus & Julia Stone

    Just a spoon full of sugar
    Makes the medicine go down
    Sweet Mary-Jane won't you lay me down
    Lost my heart in California, lost my mind
    Shot me down with a revolver, got me high
    Then a heart of gold came on the stereo
    Mr Young made me cry
    Then all the colours of the rainbow
    Fell in my eyes
    I lost my mind long ago
    Down that yellow brick road
    I lost my mind long ago
    Down that yellow brick road
    Took a train to the river
    Where I drove right in
    That skinny dippin' girl
    Made the blue bird sing
    Fell in love in California, she blew my mind
    She shot me down with her revolver
    She got me high
    Then the weather man came on the radio
    Said there be sunshine
    Then all the colours of the rainbow
    Fell in my mind
    I lost my mind long ago
    Down that yellow brick road
    I lost my mind long ago
