“THE WIZARD of OZ” Lyrics by E. Y. HARBURG Music by HAROLD “THE WIZARD OF OZ” For the Wicked Witch. Lyrics by E. Y. HARBURG Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch Of what was once the Wicked Witch. Music by HAROLD ARLEN Munchkin #1 We thank you very sweetly, for doing it so neatly. Munchkin #2 SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW You've killed her so completely, (Academy Award Best Song, 1939) That we thank you very sweetly. Glinda Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, Let the joyous news be spread, There's a land that I heard of The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead! Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, DING DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Munchkins Someday I'll wish upon a star Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. And wake up where the clouds are far Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Behind me. Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Away above the chimney tops Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. That's where you'll find me. She's gone where the goblins go, Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Below - below - below. Birds fly over the rainbow. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Why then, oh why can't I? Ding Dong the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, Let them know Why, oh why can't I? The Wicked Witch is dead! Mayor MUNCHKIN LAND As Mayor of the Munchkin City, In the County of the Land of Oz, Glinda I welcome you most regally. Come out, come out, wherever you are Barrister And meet the young lady, who fell from a star. But we've got to verify it legally, to see She fell from the sky, she fell very far. Mayor And Kansas, she says, is the name of the star. To see? Munchkins Barrister Kansas, she says, is the name of the star. If she Glinda Mayor She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard? If she? When she fell out of Kansas, a miracle occurred. Barrister Dorothy Is morally, ethic'lly It really was no miracle. Father No.1 What happened was just this. Spiritually, physically The wind began to switch - the house to pitch, Father No. 2 And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch. Positively, absolutely Just then the Witch - to satisfy an itch Munchkins Went flying on her broomstick, Undeniably and reliably dead Thumbing for a hitch. Coroner Munchkins As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And oh, what happened then was rich. And she's not only merely dead, The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch. She's really most sincerely dead. It landed on the Wicked Witch Mayor In the middle of a ditch, Then this is a day of Independence Which was not a healthy situation For all the Munchkins and their descendants. For the Wicked Witch. Barrister The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch. If any. It landed on the Wicked Witch Mayor In the middle of a ditch, Yes, let the joyous news be spread, Which was not a healthy situation The wicked Old Witch at last is dead! Conferrin' with the flowers, Munchkins Consultin' with the rain. Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. And my head I'd be scratchin' Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! while my thoughts were busy hatchin' Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. If I only had a brain. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le, Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. In trouble or in pain. She's gone where the goblins go, Dorothy Below - below – below. With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. You could be another Lincoln Ding Dong the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. If you only had a brain. Let them know Scarecrow The Wicked Witch is dead! Oh, I could tell you why Lullaby League The ocean's near the shore. We represent the Lullaby League, I could think of things I never thunk before. The Lullaby League, the Lullaby League, And then I'd sit, and think some more. And in the name of the Lullaby League, I would not be just a nothin' We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland. My head all full of stuffin' Lollipop Guild My heart all full of pain. We represent the Lollypop Guild, I would dance and be merry, The Lollypop Guild, the Lollypop Guild, Life would be a ding-a-derry, And in the name of the Lollypop Guild, If I only had a brain.

  • The Good, the Bad, the Wicked: Lessons from Oz”
    “The Good, The Bad, The Wicked: Lessons from Oz” by Dr. Brian Howell Assistant Professor of Anthropology , Wheaton College What could be a more unambiguous, self-identified portrait of evil than a green faced Witch surrounded by creepy flying monkeys? Her very name, the Wicked Witch of the West, sets the tone pretty clearly. She’s Bad; Glinda is Good; the wizard is a bumbler but a well-intentioned guy and Dorothy is haplessly caught in the middle. But the hottest ticket on Broadway says, “Not so fast.” Perhaps having a green face and wearing unfashionable black hats is not enough to make you Wicked. In fact, perhaps “goodness” and “wickedness” are not such clear-cut categories at all. In a musical “prequel” to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is challenged to re-evaluate the judgements of good and evil, tapping into the powerful cultural theme of authenticity at the same time. The Broadway musical “Wicked” is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of Elphaba (nee The Wicked Witch of the West) and her early history in the land of Oz. Born an unnatural shade of green due to the dalliances of her mother, Elphaba is misunderstood and ostracized, particularly when enrolling in a boarding school for aspiring Witches and Wizards (Shiz Academy). There she finds herself rooming with Galinda (later to become Glinda, The Good Witch), who inspires her to travel to the Emerald City in order to meet the Wizard. Elphaba, you see, has true magical gifts, and her only dream has been to meet and work with the Wizard, the Great and Powerful Oz.

    The Chronicles of Oz: The Marvellous Land Of Oz __________________________ A six-part audio drama by Aron Toman A Crossover Adventures Production chroniclesofoz.com 44. EPISODE TWO 15 PREVIOUSLY Recap of the previous episode. 16 EXT. CLEARING The Sawhorse runs rampant, while Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead attempt to catch it and calm it down. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoah! Whoah! TIP (V.O.) Taming the Sawhorse now it was alive was proving ... tricky. When Jack came to life, he was full of questions and kinda stupid, but he was fairly calm, all things considered. The Sawhorse was frightened. And a little bit insane. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Calm down horsey! TIP Whoah, horse. Easy there boy -- look out Jack, it's coming through! JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoooah! He leaps out of the way as the horse bounds past him. TIP Come on, there's nothing to be scared of. JACK PUMPKINHEAD I'm scared! TIP Nothing for the Sawhorse to be scared of. (to Sawhorse) We're your friends we're not going to hurt -- ahhh! He jumps aside as it rushes through. 45. JACK PUMPKINHEAD At least it's knocking you over as well as me, Dad. TIP I don't understand, why won't it listen to us? JACK PUMPKINHEAD Maybe it can't listen to us? TIP Oh? Oh, of course, that's it! Jack, find me some leaves or something. (he starts rummaging in the undergrowth) Big ones, about the size of my hand. We need two. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Why? TIP (finding leaves) Here we are, perfect. Ears, Jack! The Sawhorse doesn't have ears! JACK PUMPKINHEAD That's why he isn't listening! TIP We just need to fasten these on to his head and sprinkle a little more powder on.

  • Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip Was So Anxious to Rejoin His Man
    Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip was so anxious to rejoin his man Jack and the Saw-Horse that he walked a full half the distance to the Emerald City without stopping to rest. Then he discovered that he was hungry and the crackers and cheese he had provided for the Journey had all been eaten. While wondering what he should do in this emergency he came upon a girl sitting by the roadside. She wore a costume that struck the boy as being remarkably brilliant: her silken waist being of emerald green and her skirt of four distinct colors--blue in front, yellow at the left side, red at the back and purple at the right side. Fastening the waist in front were four buttons--the top one blue, the next yellow, a third red and the last purple. The splendor of this dress was almost barbaric; so Tip was fully justified in staring at the gown for some moments before his eyes were attracted by the pretty face above it. Yes, the face was pretty enough, he decided; but it wore an expression of discontent coupled to a shade of defiance or audacity. While the boy stared the girl looked upon him calmly. A lunch basket stood beside her, and she held a dainty sandwich in one hand and a hard-boiled egg in the other, eating with an evident appetite that aroused Tip's sympathy. 62 He was just about to ask a share of the luncheon when the girl stood up and brushed the crumbs from her lap.
