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 Something bad happening in Oz? Under the surface Behind the scenes Something baaaad Sorry! Bad 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 I hope you're right Nothing all that bad Nothing truly baaaad Sorry, bad It couldn't happen here In Oz
