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 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, behind the scenes
Something bad, sorry, bad

ELPHABA
Doctor Dillamond, if something bad
Is happening to the Animals
Someone's got to tell the Wizard
That's why we have a Wizard
So nothing bad

DILLAMOND
I hope you're right

ELPHABA & DILLAMOND
Nothing all that bad

DILLAMOND
Nothing truly bad
Sorry, bad

ELPHABA
It couldn't happen here in Oz
