Something Bad

[Doctor Dillamond]
Oh, miss elphaba - the things one hears these
Days. Dreadful things:

I've heard of an ox a 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 only can 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:
Sorry: "bad"

[Elphaba]
Doctor dillamond - if something bad is happening
To the animals, someone's got to tell the wizard.
That's why we have a wizard!
So nothing bad:

[Dillamond]
I hope you're right!

[Both]
Nothing all that bad:

[Dillamond]
Nothing truly baaaaaad.
Sorry: "bad":

[Elphaba]
It couldn't happen here
In oz
