No One Mourns The Wicked

Lyrics
Good news!

She's dead!

The Witch of the West is dead!

The wickedest witch there ever was

The enemy of all of us here in Oz

Is Dead!

Good news!

Good news!

Look! It's Glinda!

Let us be glad

Let us be grateful

Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue

The wicked workings of you-know-who

Isn't it nice to know

That good will conquer evil?

The truth we all believe'll by and by

Outlive a lie

For you and -

No one mourns the Wicked

No one cries "They won't return!"

No one lays a lily on their grave

The good man scorns the Wicked!

Through their lives, our children learn

What we miss, when we misbehave:

And Goodness knows

The Wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows

The Wicked die alone

It just shows when you're Wicked

You're left only

On your own

Yes, Goodness knows

The Wicked's lives are lonely

Goodness knows

The Wicked cry alone

Nothing grows for the Wicked

They reap only

What they sow

Are people born Wicked? Or do they have

Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had

A father. She had a mother, as so many do:

How I hate to go and leave you lonely

That's alright - it's only just one night

But know that you're here in my heart

While I'm out of your sight

And like every family - they had their secrets

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty

I've got one more night left, here in town

So have another drink of green elixir

And we'll have ourselves a little mixer

Have another little swallow, little lady,

And follow me down.

And of course, from the moment she was born,

She was - well - different

It's coming

Now?

The baby's coming

And how!

I see a nose

I see a curl

It's a healthy, perfect,

Lovely, little -

(Screams)

Sweet Oz!

What is it? what's wrong?

How can it be?

What does it mean?

It's atrocious

It's obscene!

Like a froggy, ferny cabbage

The baby is unnaturally

Green!

Take it away, take it away!

So you see - it couldn't have been easy!

No one mourns the Wicked!

Now at last, she's dead and gone!

Now at last, there's joy throughout the land

And Goodness knows

We know what Goodness is

Goodness knows

The Wicked die alone

She died alone

Woe to those (Woe to those)

Who spurn what Goodnesses

They are shown

No one mourns the Wicked

Good news!

No one mourns the Wicked!

Good news!

No one mourns the Wicked!

Wicked!

Wicked!
