Original Broadway Cast of Wicked - Something Bad lyrics

[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...
