Lyrics - Thank Goodness
CITIZENS
Every day, more wicked!
Every day, the terror grows!
All of Oz is ever on alert!
That's the way with wicked
Spreading fear wheree'er she goes
Seeking out new victims she can hurt!
HYSTERICAL WOMAN
Like some terrible green blizzard
Throughout the land she flies
OUTRAGED MAN
Defaming our poor wizard
With her calumnies and lies!
ALL
She lies!
Save us from the wicked!
Sheild us so we won't be hexed!
Give us warning
Where will she strike next?
Where will she strike next?
GLINDA
(Spoken) Fellow Ozians
As terrifying as terror is, let us put aside our panic for this one day... and celebrate!
(Sung) Oh, what a celebration we'll have today!
CROWD
Thank goodness!
GLINDA
Let's have a celebration the Glinda way!
CROWD
Thank goodness!
MORRIBLE
Finally a day that's totally Wicked Witch free!
CROWD
We couldn't be happier
Thank goodness!
GLINDA
Yes, we couldn't be happier
Right, dear?
Couldn't be happier
Right here
Look what we've got
A fairy tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn't be happier
True, dear?
Couldn't be happier
And we're
Happy to share
Our ending vicariously
With all of you
He couldn't look handsomer
I couldn't feel humbler
We couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!
MORRIBLE
(Spoken) And Glinda dear, we're happy for you! As Press Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism
(Sung) 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 you'd hence be known
As Glinda the Good officially!
Then with a jealous squeal
The Wicked Witch
Burst from concealment
Where she had been lurking surpetitially!
PEOPLE IN CROWD
I hear she has an extra eye
that always stays 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
(Spoken) Did you hear that?
Water will melt her?
People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!
GLINDA
Fiyero!
Oh, thanks plenty, dearest!
He's gone to fetch me a refreshment.
He's so thoughtful that way!
(Sung) That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is I'll admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
(Spoken) Well, not simply
(Sung) Cuz getting your dreams
It's strance but it seems
A little, well, complicated
There's a kind of a sort of cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still
With this perfect finale
The cheers and the ballyhoo
Who
Wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true!
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens
when 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 we've got to thank
Thank goodness
That means the Wizard, Glinda
GLINDA
And fiance!
CROWD
They couldn't be goodlier
She couldn't be lovlier
We couldn't be luckier
GLINDA
I couldn't be happier
CROWD
Thank goodness
GLINDA/CROWD
Today!
Thank goodness for today! |
