Something Bad

Dreadful things:
(sung) I’ve heard of an OxA 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 can only 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?
DILLAMOND
Under the surface

Something baaaaaaad:
(spoken) Sorry: «Bad»:
ELPHABA (spoken) Doctor Dillamond — If something bad is happening
to the Animals, someone’s got to tell the Wizard.

(sung) So nothing bad:.
DILLAMOND
(spoken) I hope you’re right:
BOTHNothing all that bad:
DILLAMOND
Nothing truly baaaaaad:.
(spoken) Sorry: «Bad»:
ELPHABA
