Thank Goodness

Every day, more wicked!
 Every day, the terror grows!
 All of Oz is ever on alert!
 That's the way with wicked
 Spreading fear where ever she goes
 Seeking out new victims she can hurt!
 Like some terrible green blizzard
 Throughout the land she flies
 Defaming our poor Wizard
 With her calumnies and lies!
 She lies!
 Save us from the wicked!
 Shield us so we won't be hexed!
 Give us warning
 Where will she strike next?
 Where will she strike next?
 Where will she strike next?
 Fellow Ozians, as terrifying as terror is, let us put
 Aside our panic for this one day, and celebrate!
 Oh what a celebration
 We'll have today
 Thank Goodness!
 Let's have a celebration
 The Glinda way!
 Thank Goodness!
 Finally a day that's
 Totally Wicked-Witch free!
 We couldn't be happier
 Thank goodness!
 
 Yes
 We couldn't be happier
 Right, dear?
 Couldn't be happier
 Right here
 Look what we've got
 A fairy-tale plot
 Our very own happy ending
 Where we couldn't be happier
 True, dear?
 Couldn't be happier
 And we're happy to share
 Our ending vicariously
 With all of you
 He couldn't look handsomer
 I couldn't feel humbler
 We couldn't be happier
 Because happy is what happens
 When all your dreams come true!
 And Glinda dear
 We're happy for you! As Press
 Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz
 Knows the story of your braverism
 The day you were first summoned
 To an audience with Oz
 And although he would not tell you why initially
 When you bowed before his throne
 He decreed you'd hence be known
 As Glinda the Good, officially!
 Then with a jealous squeal
 The Wicked Witch burst from concealment
 Where she had been lurking, surrpetitially!
 I hear she has an extra eye
 That always remains awake
 I hear that she can shed her skin
 As easily as a snake!
 I hear some rebel animals
 Are giving her food and shelter!
 I hear her soul is so unclean
 Pure water can melt her!
 What?
 Melt her
 Please, somebody go and melt her!
 Do you hear that, water will melt her? People
 Are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!
 Fiyero! Oh yes, thanks plenty, dearest!
 He's gone to
 Fetch me a refreshment
 He's so thoughtful that way!
 That's why I couldn't be happier
 No, I couldn't be happier
 Though it is, I admit
 The tiniest bit
 Unlike I anticipated
 But I couldn't be happier
 Simply couldn't be happier
 Well - not simply
 'Cause getting your dreams
 It's strange, but it seems
 A little, well, complicated
 There's a kind of a sort of, cost
 There's a couple of things get, lost
 There are bridges you cross
 You didn't know you crossed
 Until you've crossed
 And if that joy, that thrill
 Doesn't thrill you like you think it will
 Still
 With this perfect finale
 The cheers and ballyhoo
 Who
 Wouldn't be happier?
 So I couldn't be happier
 Because happy is what happens
 When all your dreams come true
 Well, isn't it?
 Happy is what happens
 When your dreams come true!
 We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank
 Thank Goodness!
 For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank
 Thank Goodness!
 That means the Wizard, Glinda
 And fiance!
 They couldn't be goodlier
 She couldn't be lovelier
 We couldn't be luckier
 I couldn't be happier
 Thank Goodness
 Today!
 Thank Goodness for today!
