Lyrics:

[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Evry day, more wicked
Evry day, the terror grows
All of Oz is ever on alert
Thats the way with Wicked'?
Spreading fear where eer she goes
Seeking out new victims she can hurt

[A HYSTERICAL WOMAN]
Like some terrible green blizzard
Throughout the land she flies:

[AN OUTRAGED MAN]
Defaming our poor Wizard
With her calamies and lies

[ALL]
She lies
Save us from the Wicked
Shield us so we wont 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
Well have today

[CROWD]
Thank Goodness!

[GLINDA]
Lets have a celebration
The Glinda way!

[CROWD]
Thank Goodness!

[MADAM MORRIBLE]
Finlly a day thats
Totally Wicked-Witch free!

[CROWD]
We couldnt be happier
Thank Goodness!

[GLINDA]
Yes'?
We couldnt be happier
Right, dear?
Couldnt be happier
Right here

Look what weve got
A fairy-tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldnt be happier'?
True, dear?

Couldnt be happier
And were happy to share
Our ending vicariously
With all of you
He couldnt look handsomer
I couldnt feel humbler
We couldnt be happier

Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!

[MADAM MORRIBLE]
And Glinda dear, were 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 youd hence be known
As Glinda the Good'?officially!

Then with a jealous squeal
The Wicked Witch burst from concealment
Where she had been lurking'?surrpetitially!

[PEOPLE IN THE CROWD]
I hear she has an extra eye
That always remains awake
I hear that she can shed her skin
As easily as a snake!
I hear some rebel Animals
Are giving her food and shelter!
I hear her soul is so unclean
Pure water can melt her!

[FIYERO]
What!?

[CROWD]
Melt her!
Please'?somebody go and melt her!

[FIYERO]
Do you hear that'?water will melt her! People
Are so empty-headed, theyll believe anything!

[GLINDA]
Fiyero! Oh'?yes, thanks plenty, dearest! Hes gone to
Fetch me a refreshment. Hes so thoughtful that way!

Thats why I couldnt be happier
No, I couldnt be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated

But I couldnt be happier
Simply couldnt be happier
Well'?not simply:
Cause getting your dreams
Its strange, but it seems
A little'?well'?complicated

Theres a kind of a sort of cost
Theres a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
You didnt know you crossed
Until youve crossed

And if that joy, that thrill
Doesnt thrill you like you think it will
Still'?
With this perfect finale
The cheers and the ballyhoo
Who?
Wouldnt be happier?

So I couldnt be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well, isnt it?
Happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!

[CROWD]
We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank

[GLINDA]
Thank Goodness!

[CROWD]
For all this joy, we know who weve got to thank:
Thank Goodness!
That means the Wizard, Glinda:

[GLINDA]
And fiance!

[CROWD]
They couldnt be goodlier
She couldnt be lovelier
We couldnt be luckier

[GLINDA]
I couldnt be happier

[CROWD]
Thank Goodness:

[GLINDA &amp CROWD]
Today!
Thank Goodness for today!
