Good news! The witch, she's dead 01:13

Come out, come out, she's gone 01:16

Good news! She's dead 01:19

The Witch of the West is dead 01:27

The wickedest witch there ever was 01:29

The enemy of all of us here in Oz 01:32

Is dead 01:33

Good news! Good news! 01:38

Look, it's Glinda 01:49

Let us be glad 01:51

Let us be grateful 01:55

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue 01:58

The wicked workings of you-know-who 02:04

Isn't it nice to know that good will conquer evil? 02:13

The truth we all believe'll by and by 02:24

Outlive a lie 02:33

For you and- 02:38

No one mourns the wicked 02:41

No one cries, "They won't return" 02:44

No one lays a lily on their grave 02:47

The good man scorns the wicked 02:52

Through their lives, our children learn 02:56

What we miss when we misbehave 02:59

And goodness knows the wicked's lives are lonely 03:04

Goodness knows the wicked die alone 03:12

It just shows when you're wicked, you're left only 03:18

On your own 03:25

Yes, goodness knows the wicked's lives are lonely 03:27

Goodness knows the wicked cry alone 03:36

Nothing grows for the wicked, they reap only 03:43

What they've sown 03:49

Miss Glinda, why does wickedness happen? 03:53

That's a good question 03:57

Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? 03:59

After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood 04:04

She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed governor of Munchkin land 04:07

"I'm off to the assembly, dear" 04:12

And she had a mother, as so many do 04:13

How I hate to go and leave you lonely 04:17

That's alright, it's only just one night 04:21

But know that you're here in my heart while I'm out of your sight 04:26

And like every family, they had their secrets 04:37

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty 04:43

I've got one more night left here in town 04:46

So have another drink of green elixir 04:49

And we'll have ourselves a little mixer 04:53

Have another little swallow, little lady, and follow me down 04:56

And one thing led to another, as it so often does 05:03

But from the moment the witch was born, she was, well, different 05:09

"It's coming" 05:16

"Now?" 05:17

"The baby's coming" 05:18

"Oh-oh-oh, and how?" 05:19

"I see a nose" 05:20

"I see a curl" 05:22

"It's a healthy, perfect, lovely little- (oh) 05:23

Oh, sweet Oz" 05:29

"How can it be?" 05:32

"What does it mean?" 05:33

"It's uncanny" 05:36

"It's obscene!" 05:37

"Like a froggy, ferny cabbage 05:41

The baby is unnaturally green" 05:43

"Take it away, take it away!" 05:53

And so, it couldn't have been easy 05:58

No one mourns the wicked 06:03

Now at last, she's dead and gone 06:08

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land 06:14

And goodness knows (goodness knows) 06:19

We know what goodness is 06:26

Goodness knows the wicked die alone (she died alone) 06:29

Woe to those (woe to those) 06:35

Who spurn what goodness (they are shown) 06:40

No one mourns the wicked (good news!) 06:48

No one mourns the wicked (good news!) 06:55

No one mourns the wicked! 07:02

Wicked! 07:10

Wicked! 07:15

Lyrics:

[English]

Good news! The witch, she's dead

Come out, come out, she's gone

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

Let us be glad

Let us be grateful

Let us rejoicify that goodness 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'll by and by

Outlive a lie

For you and-

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

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

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

Miss Glinda, why does wickedness happen?

That's a good question

Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?

After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood

She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed governor of Munchkin land

"I'm off to the assembly, dear"

And she had a mother, as so many do

How I hate to go and leave you lonely

That's alright, it's only just one night

But know that you're here in my heart while I'm out of your sight

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

And one thing led to another, as it so often does

But from the moment the witch was born, she was, well, different

"It's coming"

"Now?"

"The baby's coming"

"Oh-oh-oh, and how?"

"I see a nose"

"I see a curl"

"It's a healthy, perfect, lovely little- (oh)

Oh, sweet Oz"

"How can it be?"

"What does it mean?"

"It's uncanny"

"It's obscene!"

"Like a froggy, ferny cabbage

The baby is unnaturally green"

"Take it away, take it away!"

And so, it couldn't have been easy

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 (they are shown)

No one mourns the wicked (good news!)

No one mourns the wicked!

Wicked!
