CITIZENS OF OZEv'ry day, more wicked!Ev'ry day, the terror grows!All of Oz is ever on alert!That's the way with Wicked - Spreading fear where e'er she goesSeeking out new victims she can hurt!A HYSTERICAL WOMANLike some terrible green blizzardThroughout the land she flies:AN OUTRAGED MANDefaming our poor WizardWith her calumnies and lies!ALLShe lies!Save us from the Wicked!Shield us so we won't be hexed!Give us warning:Where will she strike next?Where will she strike next?Where will she strike next!?GLINDA(spoken) Fellow Ozians - as terrifying as terror is, let us put aside our panic for this one day: and celebrate!(sung) Oh what a celebrationWe'll have todayCROWDThank Goodness!GLINDALet's have a celebrationThe Glinda way!CROWDThank Goodness!MORRIBLEFin'lly a day that'sTotally Wicked-Witch free!CROWDWe couldn't be happierThank Goodness!GLINDAYes - We couldn't be happier, Right, dear?Couldn't be happierRight hereLook what we've gotA fairy-tale plotOur very own happy endingWhere we couldn't be happier - True, dear?Couldn't be happierAnd we're happy to shareOur ending vicariouslyWith all of youHe couldn't look handsomerI couldn't feel humblerWe couldn't be happierBecause happy is what happensWhen all your dreams come true!MORRIBLE(spoken) And Glinda dear, we're happy for you!
