SONG: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:
Both:
nothing all that bad:
Dillamond
nothing truly baaaaaad:.
(spoken) sorry: "bad":
Elphaba
it couldn't happen here
in oz
