Thank Goodness

CITIZENS OF OZ

Ev'ry day, more wicked!

Ev'ry day, the terror grows!

All of Oz is ever on alert!

That's the way with Wicked -

Spreading fear where e'er she goes

Seeking out new victims she can hurt!A HYSTERICAL WOMAN

Like some terrible green blizzard

Throughout the land she flies:AN OUTRAGED MAN

Defaming our poor Wizard

With her calumnies and lies!ALLShe lies!

Save us from the Wicked!

Shield us so we won't be hexed!

Give us warning:

Where will she strike next?

Where will she strike next?

Where will she strike next!?GLINDA

(spoken) Fellow Ozians - as terrifying as terror is, let us put

aside our panic for this one day: and celebrate!

(sung) Oh what a celebration

We'll have todayCROWDThank Goodness!GLINDA

Let's have a celebration

The Glinda way!CROWDThank Goodness!MORRIBLE

Fin'lly a day that's

Totally Wicked-Witch free!CROWD

We couldn't be happier

Thank Goodness!GLINDA

Yes -

We couldn't be happier,

Right, dear?

Couldn't be happier

Right here

Look what we've got

A fairy-tale plot

Our very own happy ending

Where we couldn't be happier -

True, dear?

Couldn't be happier

And we're happy to share

Our ending vicariously

With all of you

He couldn't look handsomer

I couldn't feel humbler

We couldn't be happier

Because happy is what happens

When all your dreams come true!MORRIBLE(spoken) And Glinda dear, we're happy for you! As Press

Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz

knows the story of your braverism:(sung) The day you were first summoned

To an audience with Oz

And although he would not tell you why initially

When you bowed before his throne

He decreed you'd hence be known

As Glinda the Good - officially!Then with a jealous squeal

The Wicked Witch burst from concealment

Where she had been lurking -surrpetitially!PEOPLE IN CROWD

I hear she has an extra eye

That always remains awake

I hear that she can shed her skin

As easily as a snake!

I hear some rebel Animals

Are giving her food and shelter!

I hear her soul is so unclean

Pure water can melt her!FIYERO

What!?CROWD

Melt her!?

Please - somebody go and melt her!FIYERO

(spoken) Do you hear that - water will melt her?! People

are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!GLINDA

(spoken) Fiyero! Oh - yes, thanks plenty, dearest! He's gone to

fetch me a refreshment. He's so thoughtful that way!(sung) That's why I couldn't be happier

No, I couldn't be happier

Though it is, I admit

The tiniest bit

Unlike I anticipated

But I couldn't be happier

Simply couldn't be happier

(spoken) Well - not "simply":

(sung) 'Cause getting your dreams

It's strange, but it seems

A little - well - complicated

There's a kind of a sort of : cost

There's a couple of things get: lost

There are bridges you cross

You didn't know you crossed

Until you've crossed

And if that joy, that thrill

Doesn't thrill you like you think it will

Still -

With this perfect finale

The cheers and ballyhoo

Who

Wouldn't be happier?

So I couldn't be happier

Because happy is what happens

When all your dreams come true

Well, isn't it?

Happy is what happens

When your dreams come true!CROWD

We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frankGLINDAThank Goodness!CROWD

For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank:

Thank Goodness!

That means the Wizard, Glinda:

GLINDA

And fiance!CROWD

They couldn't be goodlier

She couldn't be lovelier

We couldn't be luckierGLINDA

I couldn't be happier

CROWDThank Goodness:GLINDA AND CROWD

Today!

Thank Goodness for today!
