“Yeah, it's sad, believe me, missy, When you're born to be a sissy,” – The Cowardly Lion, The Wizard of Oz ... Movie Quotes Database

A scene from The Wizard of Oz 1939

[singing]

Yeah, it's sad, believe me, missy,
When you're born to be a sissy,
Without the vim and verve,
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion, not a mow-ess,
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandy-lion —
A fate I don't deserve.
