Lyrics Wicked The Musical - 05. Something Bad

Doctor Dillamond:
(spoken) Oh, Miss Elphaba – The things one hears these days.
Dreadful things
(sung) 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 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?

Doctor Dillamond:
Under the surface
Behind the scenes
Something baaaaaaad
(spoken) Sorry: "Bad"

Elphaba: (spoken)
Doctor Dillamond – If something bad is happening
to the Animals, someone's got 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 baaaaaad
(spoken) Sorry: "Bad"

Elphaba:
It couldn't happen here
In Oz
