Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, Miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days

Dreadful things

[Verse 1]

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

How he only can screech

[Verse 2]

Only rumors but still enough to give pause

To anyone with paws

Something bad is happening in Oz

[Verse 3]

Something bad, happening in Oz?

Under the surface

Behind the scenes

Something bad

Sorry! Bad

[Verse 4]

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 bad

Sorry, bad

[Outro]

It couldn't happen here

In Oz
