No One Mourns The Wicked

'''''Citizens of Oz'''''

Good news!

She's dead!

The Witch of the West is dead!

The wickedest witch there ever was

The enemy of all of us here in Oz Is Dead!

Good news!

Good news!

'''''Someone in the Crowd'''''

''Look! It's Glinda!''

'''''Glinda'''''

''Fellow Ozians...''

Let us be glad

Let us be grateful

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue

The wicked workings of you-know-who

Isn't it nice to know that good will conquer evil?

The truth we all believe'll by and by

Outlive a lie

For you and-

'''''Someone in the Crowd'''''

No one mourns the wicked

'''''Another Person'''''

No one cries, "They won't return!"

'''''Crowd'''''

No one lays a lily on their grave

'''''Man'''''

The good man scorns the wicked!

'''''Women'''''

Through their lives, our children learn

'''''Crowd'''''

What we miss, when we misbehave...

'''''Glinda'''''

And goodness knows, the wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows, the wicked die alone

It just shows when you're wicked

You're left only on your own

'''''Crowd'''''

Yes, Goodness knows, the wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows, the wicked cry alone

Nothing grows for the wicked

They reap only what they've sown

'''''Glinda'''''

''Are people born wicked?

Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?

After all, she had a father.

She had a mother, as so many do...''

'''''Father'''''

How I hate to go and leave you lonely

'''''Mother'''''

That's alright, it's only just one night

'''''Father'''''

But know that you're here in my heart

While I'm out of your sight...

'''''Glinda'''''

''And like every family, they had their secrets...''

'''''Lover'''''

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty

I've got one more night left here in town

So have another drink of green elixir

And we'll have ourselves a little mixer

Have another swallow, little lady, and follow me down...

'''''Glinda'''''

''And of course, from the moment she was born, she was...well, different.''

'''''Midwife'''''

It's coming!

'''''Father'''''

Now?

'''''Midwife'''''

The baby's coming!

'''''Father'''''

And how!

'''''Midwife & Father'''''

I see a nose,

I see a curl

It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little-

'''''Father'''''

''Sweet Oz!''

'''''Mother'''''

''What is it? What's wrong?''

'''''Midwife'''''

How can it be?

'''''Father'''''

What does it mean?

'''''Midwife'''''

It's atrocious!

'''''Father'''''

It's obscene!

'''''Midwife & Father'''''

Like a froggy, ferny cabbage

The baby is unnaturally

'''''All'''''

Green!

'''''Father'''''

''Take it away...take it away!''

'''''Glinda'''''

''So you see, it couldn't have been easy!''

'''''Crowd'''''

No one mourns the wicked!

Now at last, she's dead and gone!

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land

And goodness knows, we know what goodness is

Goodness knows, the wicked die alone

'''''Glinda'''''

She died alone...

'''''Crowd'''''

Woe to those

Who spurn what goodness is

They are shown

No one mourns the wicked

'''''Glinda'''''

Good news!

'''''Crowd'''''

No one mourns the wicked!

'''''Glinda'''''

Good news!

'''''Crowd'''''

No one mourns the wicked!

Wicked!

Wicked!
