Something Bad - Original English Lyrics

Something Bad
[Doctor Dillamond, Elphaba]

『 Oh, Miss Elphaba - the things one hears these days. Dreadful things ... 』

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...

Something bad? Happening in Oz ...?

Under the surface,
Behind the scenes,
Something baaaaaaad ...
『 Sorry ... "Bad" ... 』

『 Doctor Dillamond - If something bad is happening
To the Animals, someone's got to tell the Wizard.
That's why we have a Wizard. 』

So nothing bad ...

『 I hope you're right-- 』

Nothing all that bad ...

Nothing truly baaaaaad:.
『 Sorry: "Bad" 』

It couldn't happen here
In Oz ...
