It's Glinda!GLINDA(spoken) Fellow Ozians:(sung) Let us be gladLet us be gratefulLet us rejoicify that goodness could subdueThe wicked workings of you-know-whoIsn't it nice to knowThat good will conquer evil?The truth we all believe'll by and byOutlive a lieFor you and - SOMEONE IN THE CROWD:No one mourns the WickedANOTHER PERSON:No one cries "They won't return!"ALLNo one lays a lily on their graveMANThe good man scorns the Wicked!WOMENThrough their lives, our children learnALLWhat we miss, when we misbehave:GLINDAAnd Goodness knowsThe Wicked's lives are lonelyGoodness knowsThe Wicked die aloneIt just shows when you're WickedYou're left onlyOn your ownALLYes, Goodness knowsThe Wicked's lives are lonelyGoodness knowsThe Wicked cry aloneNothing grows for the WickedThey reap only What they've sownGLINDA(spoken) Are people born Wicked? Or do they haveWickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had a father. She had a mother, as so many do:FATHERHow I hate to go and leave you lonelyMOTHERThat's alright - it's only just one nightFATHERBut know that you're here in my heartWhile I'm out of your sightGLINDA(spoken)And like every family - they had their secretsLOVERHave another drink, my dark-eyed beautyI've got one more night left, here in townSo have another drink of green elixirAnd we'll have ourselves a little mixerHave another swallow, little lady,And follow me down:GLINDA(spoken) And of course, from the moment she was born,she was - well - differentMIDWIFEIt's comingFATHERNow?MIDWIFEThe baby's comingFATHERAnd how!MIDWIFE AND FATHERI see a noseI see a curlIt's a healthy, perfect,Lovely, little - FATHER(spoken) Sweet Oz!MOTHER(spoken) What is it? : what's wrong?MIDWIFEHow can it be?FATHERWhat does it mean?MIDWIFEIt's atrociousFATHERIt's obscene!MIDWIFE AND FATHERLike a froggy, ferny cabbageThe baby is unnaturallyALLGreen!FATHER(spoken) Take it away: take it away!GLINDA(spoken) So you see - it couldn't have been easy!ALLNo one mourns the Wicked!Now at last, she's dead and gone!Now at last, there's joy throughout the landAnd Goodness knowsWe know what Goodness isGoodness knowsThe Wicked die aloneGLINDAShe died alone:ALLWoe to those (Woe to those)Who spurn what GoodnessThey are shownNo one mourns the WickedGLINDAGood news!CROWDNo one mourns the Wicked!GLINDAGood news!ALLNo one mourns the Wicked!Wicked!Wicked!
