Wonderful

Oh, Miss Elphaba - The things one hears these days. Dreadful things...

I've heard of an Ox

A professor from Quox

No longer permitted to teach

Who has lost all powers of speech

And an Owl in Munchkin Rock

A vicar with a thriving flock

Forbidden to preach

Now he can only screech!

Only rumors - but still -

Enough to give pause

To anyone with paws

Something bad is happening in Oz...

Something bad? Happening in Oz?

Under the surface

Behind the scenes

Something baaaaaaad...

Sorry.

Doctor Dillamond - If something bad is happening

To the Animals, someone's got to tell the Wizard.

That's why we have a Wizard.

[sung] So nothing bad....

[spoken] I hope you're right...

Nothing all that bad...

Nothing truly baaaaaad....

[spoken] Sorry... "Bad"...

It couldn't happen here

In Oz...
