[Doctor dillamond]

We animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong

Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent.

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]

That's it, I'm leaving oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye".

[Elphaba]

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.

So nothing bad.

[Doctor dillamond]

Perhaps you're right.

[Doctor dillamond & elphaba]

Nothing all that bad.

[Doctor dillamond]

Nothing truly bad.

Sorry! bad

Must be catching a cold.

[Elphaba]

It couldn't happen here

In oz.
