Lyrics:

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 only can 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 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:

DILLAMOND
(spoken) I hope you're right!

BOTH
Nothing all that bad:

DILLAMOND
Nothing truly baaaaaad.
(spoken) Sorry: 'Bad':

ELPHABA
It couldn't happen here
In Oz
