Includes original booklet insert dated on back: 11-39. This collector's item includes the song: THE JITTERBUG …. " The Jitterbug " was a song sung by Dorothy (with Toto ), together with the Scarecrow , Tin Man and Cowardly Lion , that was cut from the soundtrack of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz . It was both a jazzy development of the plot and a nod to the then popular bobby-soxer dance craze. As the song begins, the four friends see a jitterbug flitting in the shadows from tree to tree and become frightened. The refrain that they sing is: "Oh, the bats and the bees and the breeze in the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz. … So, be careful of that rascal/Keep away from The Jitterbug." The Jitterbug puts a magical influence on the characters, forcing them to dance the Jitterbug frenetically. Soon there are many jitterbugs, and eventually, everyone collapses from exhaustion and are subdued by the Witch's army of flying monkeys .THE FILM STARRING JUDY GARLAND AS DOROTHY
