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?
Doctor 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
Doctor Dillamond: (spoken) I hope you're right:
Both: Nothing all that bad
Doctor Dillamond: Nothing truly baaaaaad (spoken) Sorry: "Bad"
