No One Mourns The Wicked Lyrics

    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!

    SOMEONE IN THE CROWD
    Look! It's Glinda!

    GLINDA
    Fellow Ozians
    Let us be glad
    Let us be grateful
    Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
    The wicked workings of you-know-who
    Isn't it nice to know
    That good will conquer evil?
    The truth we all believe'll 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!

    WOMEN
    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 cry alone
    Nothing grows for the Wicked
    They reap only
    What they've sown

    GLINDA
    Are people born Wicked? Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had a father. She had a mother, as so many do:

    FATHER
    How I hate to go and leave you lonely

    MOTHER
    That's alright - it's only just one night

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

    GLINDA
    And like every family - they had their secrets

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

    GLINDA
    And of course, from the moment she was born, she was - well - different

    MIDWIFE
    It's coming

    FATHER
    Now?

    MIDWIFE
    The baby's coming

    FATHER
    And how!

    MIDWIFE & FATHER
    I see a nose
    I see a curl
    It's a healthy, perfect,
    Lovely, little -

    FATHER
    Sweet Oz!

    MOTHER
    What is it? What's wrong?

    MIDWIFE
    How can it be?

    FATHER
    What does it mean?

    MIDWIFE
    It's atrocious

    FATHER
    It's obscene!

    MIDWIFE & FATHER
    Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
    The baby is unnaturally

    ALL
    Green!

    FATHER
    Take it away: take it away!

    GLINDA
    So you see - it couldn't have been easy!

    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!
