Good news! The Witch, she's dead!
Come out, come out, she's gone!
Good news
She's dead
The Witch of the West is dead
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz
Is dead
Good news
Good news
Look! It's Glinda!
Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know?
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and—
No one mourns the Wicked
No one cries, "They won't return"
No one lays a lily on their grave
The good man scorns the Wicked
Through their lives, our children learn
What we miss when we misbehave
And Goodness knows the Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows the Wicked die alone
It just shows, when you're wicked
You're left only on your own
Yes, Goodness knows the Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows the Wicked cry alone
Nothing grows for the Wicked
They reap only what they've sown
Miss Glinda
Why does Wickedness happen?
That's a good question
Are people born Wicked?
Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?
After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood
She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed Governor of Munchkinland
I'm off to the assembly, dear
And she had a mother, as so many do
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
That's alright, it's only just one night
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight
And, like every family, they had their secrets
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
I've got one more night left here in town
So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another little swallow, little lady
And follow me down
And one thing led to another, as it so often does
No!
But from the moment the witch was born, she was, well, different
It's coming
Now?
The baby is coming
Oh, and how!
I see a nose
I see a curl
It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little—
Oh!
Oh! Sweet Oz! Oh!
How can it be?
What does it mean?
It's uncanny
It's obscene
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally
Green
Take it away
Take it away!
And so, it couldn't have been easy
No one mourns the Wicked
Now, at last, she's dead and gone
Now, at last, there's joy throughout the land
And Goodness knows
Goodness knows
We know what Goodness is
Oh, ooh
Goodness knows the Wicked die alone
She died alone
Woe to those (Woe to those)
Who spurn what Goodnesses
They are shown
No one mourns the Wicked
Good news
No one mourns the Wicked
Good news
No one mourns the Wicked
Wicked
Wicked
