no one mourns the wicked (demo) - wicked original broadway cast lyrics

[citizens of oz]
ring every bell
wave every banner
to have a celebrate, commercial every band
from quadling country to munchkinland
buy a souvenir, a strand of straw, a swatch of ginger
and put our four heroes on parading pastors, fling ’em
and flower them and shower them with praise
well, since the wizard came, this is our festivess occase
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

[madame morrible]
ladies and gentlemen, this dinguished guest, fanatic
i am madame morrible, the secretary to his supreme ozness, the wizard
and i know i speak for the wizard when i say to you ladies and gentlemen of the press
that this carnival atmosphere is just enlightful
furthermore

the wizard has suggested
no, required
no, requested that refugees be burned
so a lesson might be learned
[citizens of oz]
this is what is served kindly and wicked
good news, that she was wicked

[madame morrible]
there has been much rumor and speculations
in the window and out the window
and i am here to set the record straight
the wicked witch of the west is in factuality, deceased
the melting took place this very evening
at the seventeenth hour, western vingus time
the witch slayers have returned unharmed
and are safely inside the palace, being rewarded by the wizard
for their selfless act of braverism
now, i’m sure many of you have questions about the witch
so let us trace her path to wickedness

there, that’s done
and now, a very excitable moment for us all
one of the witch slayers wishes to make a statement

[scarecrow]
thanks
i just want to assure you
one and all, that she is completely dead
i saw it happen
her face
and, and the flames
and, when the water hit her and
she lay there twisting and writhing
i looked up at the sky
and as oz is my witness
the moon looked green
to make no mistake, i’d do it again
because melting was too good for her
no one mourns the wicked
no one weeps when they are gone
no one builds a statue in their name
the good man scorns the wicked
if we cheer when they pass on
they have no one but themselves to blame
and goodness knows the wicked’s lives are lonely
goodness knows the wicked die alone
nothing grows for the wicked
they regrow what they’ve stole

[citizens of oz]
look, i don’t believe it!
it is, it’s her!
glinda! glinda! glinda!

[glinda]
yes, it’s really me

[citizens of oz]
oz bless you, glinda
glinda, this way please
glinda, is it true you were her friend?

[glinda]
what?
well, yes
that is—
[madame morrible]
we both knew her, this was of course before the true depth had unveiled itself

[glinda]
but oz knows she never meant it to end like this

[madame morrible]
oh, glinda dear, it’s only your own goodness that allows you sympathy for such unminifying evil

[glinda]
true
but still

who would love the wicked?
who would ever kiss their eyes?
who would lay a lily on their grave?

[madame morrible]
speaking of the wicked
through their lives, we recognize
what we miss when we misbehave

[glinda]
good goodness knows the wicked’s lives are lonely
goodness knows the wicked die alone

[all]
it just shows when you’re wicked you sleep lonely, on your own

[glinda]
who can explain such wickedness
or trace its origin?

[madame morrible]
i traced its origin just before on the map
in any case, it’s a matter of public record
she was given every advantage and every opportunity
her father was the governor of munchkinland for oz sake

[frex]
melana, dearest, i’m off to the provinces for my annual tour

[glinda]
it’s true, she had a childhood
she had a mother, as so many do

[melana]
frex, darling
must you leave so soon?

[madame morrible]
but clearly something went horrendibly wrong

[frex]
how i hate to go and leave you lonely
even though it’s only for one night
but i know you know when we’re apart, dear
i will have you always in my heart, dear
so don’t have a doubt of my love
when i’m out of your sight

[oz]
have another drink, my dark*eyed beauty
i’ve got one more night left here in town
so have another drink of elixir
and we’ll have ourselves another mixer
have another little swallow, little lady
and follow me down

[glinda]
and of course, from the moment she was born, she was
different

[midwife]
it’s coming!

[frex]
now?

[midwife]
the baby’s coming!

[frex]
and how?

[midwife]
and yes

[frex]
yes

[midwife]
i see a nose

[frex]
i see a curl

[midwife & frex]
it’s a healthy, perfect, lovely little

[frex]
sweet oz!

[melana]
what is it? what’s wrong?

[midwife]
how can it be?

[frex]
what does it mean?

[midwife]
it’s atrocious!

[frex]
it’s obscene!

[midwife & frex]
like a froggy, ferny cabbage
the baby is unnaturally—

[frex]
this is no child of mine!

[midwife & grex]
green!

[frex]
i can’t bare to look at it!
get it out of my sight!

[all]
no one mourns the wicked
no one weeps when they pass on
when they die, there’s cheers throughout the land
and goodness knows, goodness knows, we know what goodness is
goodness knows the wicked cry alone
woe to those, woe to those
who spurn what goodness is
they are shown
they make their bed out of rose
not of th*rns, unaware where heads have h*rns
and when they’re dead, no one mourns
no one mourns the wicked
good news
no one mourns the wicked
wicked
wicked
