Something Bad Songtext

von Wicked

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 can only 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.
