Something Bad – Idina Menzel (feat. William Youmans) (from “Wicked” soundtrack)

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND] [spoken] Oh, Miss Elphaba – The things one hears these days. Dreadful things… [sung] 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 can only screech! Only rumors – but still – Enough to give pause To anyone with paws Something bad is happening in Oz…
[ELPHABA] Something bad? Happening in Oz?
[DILLAMOND] Under the surface Behind the scenes Something baaaaaaad… [spoken] Sorry. “Bad”
[ELPHABA (spoken)] Doctor Dillamond – If something bad is happening to the Animals, someone’s got to tell the Wizard. That’s why we have a Wizard. [sung] So nothing bad….
