Song by Kristin Chenoweth<br /><br>

CITIZENS OF OZ<br>

Ev'ry day, more wicked!<br>

Ev'ry day, the terror grows!<br>

All of Oz is ever on alert!<br>

That's the way with Wicked - <br>

Spreading fear where e'er she goes<br>

Seeking out new victims she can hurt!<br>

<br>

A HYSTERICAL WOMAN<br>

Like some terrible green blizzard<br>

Throughout the land she flies:<br>

<br>

AN OUTRAGED MAN<br>

Defaming our poor Wizard<br>

With her calumnies and lies!<br>

<br>

ALLShe lies!<br>

Save us from the Wicked!<br>

Shield us so we won't be hexed!<br>

Give us warning:<br>

Where will she strike next?<br>

Where will she strike next?<br>

Where will she strike next!?<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

(spoken) Fellow Ozians - as terrifying as terror is, let us put <br>

aside our panic for this one day: and celebrate!<br>

(sung) Oh what a celebration<br>

We'll have today<br>

<br>

CROWDThank Goodness!<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

Let's have a celebration<br>

The Glinda way!<br>

<br>

CROWDThank Goodness!<br>

<br>

MORRIBLE<br>

Fin'lly a day that's<br>

Totally Wicked-Witch free!<br>

<br>

CROWD<br>

We couldn't be happier<br>

Thank Goodness!<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

Yes - <br>

We couldn't be happier, <br>

Right, dear?<br>

Couldn't be happier<br>

Right here<br>

Look what we've got<br>

A fairy-tale plot<br>

Our very own happy ending<br>

Where we couldn't be happier - <br>

True, dear?<br>

Couldn't be happier<br>

And we're happy to share<br>

Our ending vicariously<br>

With all of you<br>

He couldn't look handsomer<br>

I couldn't feel humbler<br>

We couldn't be happier<br>

Because happy is what happens<br>

When all your dreams come true!<br>

<br>

MORRIBLE(spoken) And Glinda dear, we're happy for you! As Press<br>

Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz<br>

knows the story of your braverism:<br>

<br>

(sung) The day you were first summoned<br>

To an audience with OzAnd although he would not tell you why initially<br>

When you bowed before his throne<br>

He decreed you'd hence be known<br>

As Glinda the Good - officially!<br>

<br>

Then with a jealous squeal<br>

The Wicked Witch burst from concealment<br>

Where she had been lurking -surrpetitially!<br>

<br>

PEOPLE IN CROWD<br>

I hear she has an extra eye<br>

That always remains awake<br>

I hear that she can shed her skin<br>

As easily as a snake!<br>

I hear some rebel Animals<br>

Are giving her food and shelter!<br>

I hear her soul is so unclean<br>

Pure water can melt her!<br>

<br>

FIYERO<br>

What!?<br>

<br>

CROWD<br>

Melt her!?<br>

Please - somebody go and melt her!<br>

<br>

FIYERO<br>

(spoken) Do you hear that - water will melt her?! People<br>

are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

(spoken) Fiyero! Oh - yes, thanks plenty, dearest! He's gone to<br>

fetch me a refreshment. He's so thoughtful that way!<br>

<br>

(sung) That's why I couldn't be happier<br>

No, I couldn't be happier<br>

Though it is, I admit<br>

The tiniest bit<br>

Unlike I anticipated<br>

But I couldn't be happier<br>

Simply couldn't be happier<br>

(spoken) Well - not "simply":<br>

(sung) 'Cause getting your dreams<br>

It's strange, but it seems<br>

A little - well - complicated<br>

There's a kind of a sort of : cost<br>

There's a couple of things get: lost<br>

There are bridges you cross<br>

You didn't know you crossed<br>

Until you've crossed<br>

And if that joy, that thrill<br>

Doesn't thrill you like you think it will<br>

Still - <br>

With this perfect finale<br>

The cheers and ballyhoo<br>

Who <br>

Wouldn't be happier?<br>

So I couldn't be happier<br>

Because happy is what happens<br>

When all your dreams come true<br>

Well, isn't it?<br>

Happy is what happens<br>

When your dreams come true!<br>

<br>

CROWD<br>

We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank<br>

<br>

GLINDAThank Goodness!<br>

<br>

CROWD<br>

For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank:<br>

Thank Goodness!<br>

That means the Wizard, Glinda:<br>

GLINDA<br>

And fiance!<br>

<br>

CROWD<br>

They couldn't be goodlier<br>

She couldn't be lovelier<br>

We couldn't be luckier<br>

<br>

GLINDA<br>

I couldn't be happier<br>

CROWDThank Goodness:<br>

<br>
