CITIZENS Every day, more wicked! Every day, the terror grows! All of Oz is ever on alert! That's the way with wicked Spreading fear wheree'er she goes Seeking out new victims she can hurt!
HYSTERICAL WOMAN Like some terrible green blizzard Throughout the land she flies
OUTRAGED MAN Defaming our poor wizard With her calumnies and lies!
ALL She lies! Save us from the wicked! Sheild us so we won't be hexed! Give us warning 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 celebration we'll have today!
CROWD Thank goodness!
GLINDA Let's have a celebration the Glinda way!
CROWD Thank goodness!
MORRIBLE Finally a day that's totally Wicked Witch free!
CROWD We couldn't be happier Thank goodness!
GLINDA Yes, we couldn't be happier Right, dear? Couldn't be happier Right here Look what we've got A fairy tale plot Our very own happy ending Where we couldn't be happier True, dear? Couldn't be happier And we're Happy to share Our ending vicariously With all of you He couldn't look handsomer I couldn't feel humbler We couldn't be happier Because happy is what happens When all your dreams come true!
MORRIBLE (Spoken) And Glinda dear, we're happy for you! As Press Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism
(Sung) The day you were first summoned To an audience with Oz And although he would not tell you why initially When you bowed before his throne He decreed you'd hence be known As Glinda the Good officially!
Then with a jealous squeal The Wicked Witch Burst from concealment Where she had been lurking surpetitially!
PEOPLE IN CROWD I hear she has an extra eye that always stays awake!
I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake!
I hear some rebel Animals are giving her food and shelter!
I hear her soul is so unclean pure water can melt her!
FIYERO What??
CROWD Melt her?? Please somebody go and melt her!
FIYERO (Spoken) Did you hear that? Water will melt her? People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!
GLINDA Fiyero! Oh, thanks plenty, dearest! He's gone to fetch me a refreshment. He's so thoughtful that way!
(Sung) That's why I couldn't be happier No, I couldn't be happier Though it is I'll admit The tiniest bit Unlike I anticipated But I couldn't be happier Simply couldn't be happier
(Spoken) Well, not simply
(Sung) Cuz getting your dreams It's strance but it seems A little, well, complicated There's a kind of a sort of cost There's a couple of things get lost There are bridges you cross You didn't know you crossed Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill Doesn't thrill like you think it will Still With this perfect finale The cheers and the ballyhoo Who Wouldn't be happier? So I couldn't be happier Because happy is what happens When all your dreams come true! Well, isn't it? Happy is what happens when your dreams come true!
CROWD We love you Glinda If we may be so frank
GLINDA Thank goodness!
CROWD For all this joy We know who we've got to thank Thank goodness That means the Wizard, Glinda
