[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 lock
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?
[Doctor Dillamond]
Under the surface
Behind the scenes
Something baaaaaaaad
(spoken) Sorry! Bad
[Elphaba (spoken)]
Doctor Dillamond..
If something's bad to the Animals
Someone has to tell the Wizard
That's why we have a Wizard
(sung) So nothing bad....
[Doctor Dillamond (spoken)]
I hope you're right
[Both:]
Nothing all that bad
[Doctor Dillamond]
Nothing truly baaaaaaaaaad
(spoken) Sorry, bad
[Elphaba]
It couldn't happen here
In Oz...
