Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Look, it's Glinda!
[Verse 2]
Fellow Ozians
Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that good news 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 will by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and
[Verse 3]
No one mourns the wicked
No one cries they won't return
No one lays a lily on their grave
The good man scorns the wicked
Through their lives our children learn
What we miss when we misbehave
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
That's all right, it's only just one night
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight
[Verse 6]
And like every family, they had their secrets
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 little swallow, little lady
And follow me down
[Verse 7]
And of course, from the moment she was born
She was, well, different
[Verse 8]
It's coming
Now?
The baby's coming
And how
I see a nose
I see a curl
It's a healthy, perfect, lovely little-
[Verse 9]
Sweet Oz!
What is it?
What's wrong?
How can it be?
What does it mean?
It's atrocious
It's obscene
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally green!
[Verse 10]
Take it away
Take it away!
So you see, it couldn't have been easy
[Chorus]
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 (Goodness knows)
We know what goodness is
Goodness knows
The wicked die alone (She died alone)
Woe to those (Woe to those)
Who spurn what goodness is
They are shown
[Outro]
No one mourns the wicked
Good news
No one mourns the wicked
Good news
No one mourns the wicked
Wicked
Wicked
