Lyrics: Wicked: The Musical. Something Bad.

DOCTOR DILLAMOND

(spoken) Oh, Miss Elphaba - The things one hears these

days. Dreadful things:

(sung) I've heard of an OxA 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:



ELPHABA

Something bad? Happening in Oz?



DILLAMOND

Under the surface

Behind the scenes

Something baaaaaaad:

(spoken) Sorry: "Bad":



ELPHABA(spoken) 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:.



DILLAMOND

(spoken) I hope you're right:



BOTHNothing all that bad:



DILLAMOND

Nothing truly baaaaaad:.

(spoken) Sorry: "Bad":



ELPHABA

It couldn't happen here

In Oz:
