Thank Goodness Lyrics - Wicked

CITIZENS OF OZ 

Ev'ry day, more wicked! 

Ev'ry day, the terror grows! 

All of Oz is ever on alert! 

That's the way with Wicked - 

Spreading fear where e'er she goes 

Seeking out new victims she can hurt! 

A HYSTERICAL WOMAN 

Like some terrible green blizzard 

Throughout the land she flies: 

AN OUTRAGED MAN 

Defaming our poor Wizard 

With her calumnies and lies! 

ALLShe 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!? 

GLINDA 

(spoken) Fellow Ozians - as terrifying as terror is, let us put 

aside our panic for this one day: and celebrate! 

(sung) Oh what a celebration 

We'll have today 

CROWDThank Goodness! 

GLINDA 

Let's have a celebration 

The Glinda way! 

CROWDThank Goodness! 

MORRIBLE 

Fin'lly a day that's 

Totally Wicked-Witch free! 

CROWD 

We couldn't be happier 

Thank Goodness! 

GLINDA 

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! 

MORRIBLE(spoken) 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: 

(sung) The day you were first summoned 

To an audience with OzAnd 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 -surreptitiously! 

PEOPLE IN CROWD 

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! 

FIYERO 

What!? 

CROWD 

Melt her!? 

Please - somebody go and melt her! 

FIYERO 

(spoken) Do you hear that - water will melt her?! People 

are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything! 

GLINDA 

(spoken) Fiyero! Oh - yes, thanks plenty, dearest! He's gone to 

fetch me a refreshment. He's so thoughtful that way! 

(sung) 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 

(spoken) Well - not "simply": 

(sung) 'Cause getting your dreams 

It's strange, but it seems 

A little - well - complicated 

There's a kind of a sort of a 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! 

CROWD 

We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank 

GLINDAThank Goodness! 

CROWD 

For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank: 

Thank Goodness! 

That means the Wizard, Glinda: 

GLINDA 

And fiance! 

CROWD 

They couldn't be goodlier 

She couldn't be lovelier 

We couldn't be luckier 

GLINDA 

I couldn't be happier 

CROWDThank Goodness: 

GLINDA AND CROWD 

Today! 

Thank Goodness for today!
