Lyrics

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken] We Animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent [DOCTOR DILLAMOND] 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 [ANIMALS] Something bad happening in— [LION, spoken] That's it, I'm leaving Oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye" [ELPHABA, spoken] Doctor Dillamond If animals are losing the ability to speak, leaving Oz, then Someone's got to tell the Wizard That's why we have a Wizard [ELPHABA] So nothing bad [DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken] Perhaps you're right [DOCTOR DILLAMOND & ELPHABA] Nothing all that bad [DOCTOR DILLAMOND] Nothing truly bad [DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken] Sorry! Bad Must be catching a cold [ELPHABA] It couldn't happen here In Oz
