CITIZENS OF OZ
Every day, more Wicked, every day, the terror grows
All of Oz is ever on alert, that's the way with Wicked
Spreading fear wherever she goes, seeking out new victims she can hurt

CITIZEN ONE
Like some terrible green blizzard, throughout the land she flies

CITIZEN TWO
Defaming our poor Wizard

CITIZENS
With her calumnies and lies, she 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
Fellow Ozians, as terrifying as terror is
Let us put aside our panic for this one day and celebrate
Oh what a celebration we'll have today

CITIZENS
Thank Goodness

GLINDA
Let's have a celebration the Glinda way

CITIZENS
Thank Goodness

MORRIBLE
Finally a day that's totally Wicked-Witch free

CITIZENS
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
And Glinda dear, we are happy for you
As Press Secretary, I have striven to ensure
That all of Oz knows the story of your braverism

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 surreptitially

CITIZEN THREE
I hear she has an extra eye that always remains awake

CITIZEN FOUR
I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake

CITIZEN FIVE
I hear some rebel Animals are giving her food and shelter

CITIZEN SIX
I hear her soul is so unclean, pure water can melt her

FIYERO
What?

CITIZENS
Melt her, please, somebody go and melt her

FIYERO
Do you hear that? Water will melt her?
People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything

GLINDA
Fiyero! Oh, yes
Thanks plenty, dearest
He's gone to fetch me a refreshment
He's so thoughtful that way

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, well, not simply
'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

CITIZENS
We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank

GLINDA
Thank Goodness

CITIZENS
For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank
Thank Goodness, that means the Wizard, Glinda

GLINDA
And fiance

CITIZENS
They couldn't be goodlier
She couldn't be lovelier
We couldn't be luckier

GLINDA
I couldn't be happier

CITIZENS
Thank Goodness

GLINDA & CITIZENS
Today, thank Goodness for today
