Song by Cristy Candler<br /><br>

CITIZENS OF OZ:<br>

Good news! She's dead!<br>

The Witch of the West is dead!<br>

The wickedest witch there ever was<br>

The enemy of all of us here in Oz<br>

Is Dead!<br>

Good news!<br>

Good news!<br>

<br>

Ozian:<br>

(spoken) Look! It's Glinda!<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

(spoken) Fellow Ozians:<br>

(sung) Let us be glad<br>

Let us be grateful<br>

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue<br>

The wicked workings of you-know-who<br>

Isn't it nice to know<br>

That good will conquer evil?<br>

The truth we all believe'll by and by<br>

Outlive a lie<br>

For you and -<br>

<br>

Ozian(Male or Female):<br>

No one mourns the Wicked<br>

<br>

Ozian(Female):<br>

No one cries "They won't return!"<br>

<br>

Ozians:<br>

No one lays a lily on their grave<br>

<br>

Ozian(male):<br>

The good man scorns the Wicked!<br>

<br>

Ozians(female):<br>

Through their lives, our children learn<br>

<br>

Ozians:<br>

What we miss, when we misbehave:<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

And Goodness knows<br>

The Wicked's lives are lonely<br>

Goodness knows<br>

The Wicked die alone<br>

It just shows when you're Wicked<br>

You're left only<br>

On your own<br>

<br>

Ozians:<br>

Yes, Goodness knows<br>

The Wicked's lives are lonely<br>

Goodness knows<br>

The Wicked cry alone<br>

Nothing grows for the Wicked<br>

They reap only<br>

What they've sown<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

(spoken)<br>

Are people born Wicked? Or do they have<br>

Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had<br>

a father. She had a mother, as so many do:<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

How I hate to go and leave you lonely.<br>

<br>

MOTHER(Melena):<br>

That's alright - it's only just one night.<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

But know that you're here in my heart<br>

While I'm out of your sight.<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

(spoken)<br>

And like every family - they had their secrets...<br>

<br>

LOVER:<br>

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty<br>

I've got one more night left, here in town<br>

So have another drink of green elixir<br>

And we'll have ourselves a little mixer<br>

Have another swallow, little lady,<br>

And follow me down...<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

(spoken) And of course, from the moment she was born,<br>

she was - well - different<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny):<br>

It's coming<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

Now?<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny):<br>

The baby's coming<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

And how!<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny) AND FATHER(Frex):<br>

I see a nose<br>

I see a curl<br>

It's a healthy, perfect,<br>

Lovely, little -<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny):<br>

AAAHHH!!!!<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

(spoken) Sweet Oz!<br>

<br>

MOTHER(Melena):<br>

(spoken) What is it? what's wrong?<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny):<br>

How can it be?<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

What does it mean?<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny):<br>

It's atrocious<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex):<br>

It's obscene!<br>

<br>

MIDWIFE(Nanny) AND FATHER(Frex):<br>

Like a froggy, ferny cabbage<br>

The baby is unnaturally<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Green!<br>

<br>

FATHER(Frex)<br>

(spoken) Take it away; take it away!<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

(spoken)<br>

So you see - it couldn't have been easy!<br>

<br>

Ozian:<br>

No one mourns the Wicked!<br>

Now at last, she's dead and gone!<br>

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land<br>

And Goodness knows(Glinda: Echo)<br>

We know what Goodness is(Glinda:Echo)<br>

Goodness knows(Glinda:Echo)<br>

The Wicked die alone<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

She died alone:<br>

<br>

Ozian:<br>

Woe to those<br>

Who spurn what Goodness is<br>

They are shown<br>

No one mourns the Wicked<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

Good news!<br>

<br>

Ozians:<br>

No one mourns the Wicked!<br>

<br>

GLINDA:<br>

Good news!<br>

<br>

Ozians and Glinda)<br>

No one mourns the Wicked!<br>

Wicked!<br>

Wicked!<br>

<br>
