Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead! – Barbra Streisand (feat. Harold Arlen)
By
[Barbra:] Once there was a wicked witch In the lovely land of OZ And a wickeder, wickeder, Wickeder witch that never, ever was She filled the folks in Munchkin Land With terror and with dread Till one fine day from Kansas A house fell on her head And the coroner pronounced her: DEAD And through the town the joyous news went running The joyous news that the wicked old witch Was finally done in Ding-Dong! The witch is dead!
[Harold:] Which old witch? [Barbra:] The wicked witch Ding-Dong! The wicked witch is dead! Wake up you sleepy head
[Harold:] Rub your eyes
[Barbra:] Get out of that bed Wake up! The wicked old witch is dead!
[Both:] She’s gone where the goblins go Below, below, below – yo-ho! Let’s open up and sing
[Barbra:] And ring those bells out…
[Harold:] Sing the news out!
[Barbra:] Ding-Dong! The merry-o Sing it high and sing it low Let them know the wicked old witch is dead
[Harold:] Why everyone’s glad She took such a crownin’
[Barbra:] Bein’ hit by a house Is even worse than drownin’
[Both:] Let ’em know the wicked old witch is dead!!!
