No One Mourns the Wicked Songtext

von Wicked

Citizens of Oz:
Good News!
She's dead!
The witch of the west is dead!
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz
Is dead!
Good News!
Good News!

Glinda:
Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you know who
Isn's it nice to know
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and-

Someone in the Crowd:
No one mourns the wicked

Another person:
No one cries: "They won't return!"

All:
No one lays a lily on their grave

Man:
The good man scorns the wicked!

Woman:
Through their lives, our children learn:

All:
What we miss
When we misbehave...

Glinda:
And goodness knows
The wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The wicked die alone
It just shows when you're wicked
You're left only
On your own...

All:
Yes, goodness knows
The wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The wicked cryalone
Nothing grows for the wicked
They reap only
What they've sown...

Father:
How I hate to leave you lonely

Mother:
That's alright - it's just one night

Father:
But I know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight...

Lover:
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
I've got one more night left, here in town
So have another drink of green elixier
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another littlie swallow, little lady,
And follow me down...

Midwife:
It's coming...

Father:
Now?

Midwife:
The baby's coming...

Father:
And how!

Midwife and father:
I see a nose
I see a curl
It's a healthy, perfect
Lovely, little-

Midwife:
How can it be?

Father:
What does it mean?

Midwife:
It's atrocious!

Father:
It's obscene!

Midwife and Father:
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally-

All:
Green!

All:
No one mourns the wicked
Now at last, she's dead and gone
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
And
Goodness knows
We know what goodness is
Goodness knows
The wicked die alone

Glinda:
She died alone...

All:
Woe to those
Who spurn what goodness
They are shown
No one mourns the wicked...

Glinda:
Good news!

Crowd:
No one mourns the wicked!

Glinda:
Good news!

All:
No one mourns the wicked!
Wicked!
Wicked!
