Wicked - Thank Goodness lyrics

rate me

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 calamies and lies<br />

<br />

ALL:<br />

She 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 />

CROWD:<br />

Thank Goodness! <br />

<br />

GLINDA:<br />

Let's have a celebration<br />

The Glinda way! <br />

<br />

CROWD:<br />

Thank 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:<br />

(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 Oz<br />

And 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 />

PERSONS IN CROWD:<br />

I hear she has an extra eye<br />

That always remains awake<br />

I hear that she can she'd 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 in the valley<br />

Who- 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 all your dreams come true! <br />

<br />

CROWD:<br />

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

<br />

GLINDA:<br />

Thank 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 />

<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 />

<br />

CROWD:<br />

Thank Goodness:<br />

<br />

GLINDA AND CROWD:<br />

Today! <br />

Thank Goodness for today!
