Lyrics

[01:03.940] CITIZENS OF OZ:
[01:03.943] Good news! She's dead!
[01:11.410] The Witch of the West is dead!
[01:13.736] The wickedest witch there ever was
[01:16.007] The enemy of all of us here in Oz
[01:18.379] Is Dead!
[01:22.507] Good news!
[01:27.439] Good news!
[01:31.010] SOMEONE IN THE CROWD(spoken):
[01:31.013] Look! It's Glinda!
[01:34.790] GLINDA
[01:35.793] (spoken) Fellow Ozians:
[01:39.792] (sung) Let us be glad
[01:42.666] Let us be grateful
[01:45.419] Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
[01:50.569] The wicked workings of you-know-who
[01:58.636] Isn't it nice to know
[02:03.223] That good will conquer evil?
[02:07.582] The truth we all believe'll by and by
[02:17.189] Outlive a lie
[02:22.906] For you and
[02:26.530] SOMEONE IN THE CROWD
[02:26.535] No one mourns the Wicked
[02:29.540] ANOTHER PERSON
[02:29.542] No one cries "They won't return!"
[02:32.665] ALL
[02:32.667] No one lays a lily on their grave
[02:37.280] MAN
[02:37.284] The good man scorns the Wicked!
[02:40.730] WOMEN
[02:40.734] Through their lives, our children learn
[02:43.705] ALL
[02:43.706] What we miss, when we misbehave...
[02:48.660] GLINDA
[02:48.664] And Goodness knows
[02:51.697] The Wicked's lives are lonely
[02:56.140] Goodness knows
[02:58.117] The Wicked die alone
[03:02.460] It just shows when you're Wicked
[03:05.753] You're left only
[03:08.816] On your own
[03:10.273] ALL
[03:10.275] Yes, Goodness knows
[03:14.840] The Wicked's lives are lonely
[03:19.000] Goodness knows
[03:21.210] The Wicked cry alone
[03:25.299] Nothing grows for the Wicked
[03:28.457] They reap only
[03:31.707] What they've sown
[03:36.035] GLINDA(spoken)
[03:36.040] Are people born Wicked? Or do they have
[03:38.852] Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had
[03:42.192] A father. She had a mother, as so many do...
[03:46.575] FATHER
[03:46.577] How I hate to go and leave you lonely
[03:50.731] MOTHER
[03:50.732] That's alright - it's only just one night
[03:55.290] FATHER
[03:55.294] But know that you're here in my heart
[03:58.798] While I'm out of your sight
[04:06.515] GLINDA(spoken)
[04:06.516] And like every family they had their secrets
[04:12.595] LOVER
[04:12.601] Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
[04:15.657] I've got one more night left, here in town
[04:18.762] So have another drink of green elixir
[04:21.850] And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
[04:25.216] Have another swallow, little lady
[04:28.028] And follow me down...
[04:33.485] GLINDA(spoken)
[04:33.486] And of course, from the moment she was born
[04:36.394] She was well different
[04:39.715] MIDWIFE
[04:39.716] It's coming
[04:40.800] FATHER
[04:40.801] Now?
[04:41.490] MIDWIFE
[04:41.494] The baby's coming
[04:43.335] FATHER
[04:43.338] And how!
[04:43.922] MIDWIFE AND FATHER
[04:43.923] I see a nose
[04:45.181] I see a curl
[04:46.410] It's a healthy, perfect
[04:48.660] Lovely, little -
[04:51.645] FATHER(spoken)
[04:51.648] Sweet Oz!
[04:52.570] MOTHER(spoken)
[04:52.573] What is it? What's wrong?
[04:55.445] MIDWIFE(Sung)
[04:55.450] How can it be?
[04:56.268] FATHER
[04:56.269] What does it mean?
[04:59.295] MIDWIFE
[04:59.296] It's atrocious
[05:00.259] FATHER
[05:00.260] It's obscene!
[05:04.083] MIDWIFE AND FATHER
[05:04.084] Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
[05:06.166] The baby is unnaturally
[05:10.005] ALL
[05:10.010] Green!
[05:18.325] FATHER(spoken)
[05:18.329] Take it away...take it away!
[05:22.795] GLINDA(spoken)
[05:22.797] So you see - it couldn't have been easy!
[05:26.605] ALL
[05:26.606] No one mourns the Wicked!
[05:31.474] Now at last, she's dead and gone!
[05:35.457] Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
[05:40.192] And Goodness knows
[05:45.834] We know what Goodness is
[05:49.103] Goodness knows
[05:51.358] The Wicked die alone
[05:53.321] GLINDA
[05:53.322] She died alone...
[05:54.962] ALL
[05:54.963] Woe to those
[05:58.761] Who spurn what Goodness
[06:01.464] They are shown
[06:06.867] No one mourns the Wicked
[06:09.075] GLINDA
[06:09.076] Good news!
[06:13.197] CROWD
[06:13.198] No one mourns the Wicked!
[06:15.381] GLINDA
[06:15.382] Good news!
[06:19.368] ALL
[06:19.369] No one mourns the Wicked!
[06:26.585] Wicked!
[06:30.663] Wicked!
[06:36.454]
