Something Bad [Original Broadway Cast Recording]
Stephen Lawrence Schwartz
Oh, Miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days
Dreadful things
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
Something bad? Happening in Oz?
Under the surface
Behind the scenes
Something bad
Sorry, "bad"
Doctor Dillamond, if something bad is happening to the animals
Someone's got to tell the Wizard
That's why we have a Wizard
So nothing bad
I hope you're right
Nothing all that bad
Nothing truly bad
Sorry, "bad"
It couldn't happen here
In Oz
