Lyric Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead (with Harold Arlen)

Barbra
Once there was a wicked witch
In the lovely land of oz
And a wickeder, wickeder,
Wickeder witch that never, ever was
She filled the folks in munchkin land
With terror and with dread
Till one fine day from kansas
A house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her: dead
And through the town the joyous news went running
The joyous news that the wicked old witch
Was finally done in
Ding-dong! the witch is dead!

Harold
Which old witch?

Barbra
The wicked witch
Ding-dong! the wicked witch is dead!
Wake up you sleepy head

Harold
Rub your eyes

Barbra
Get out of that bed
Wake up! the wicked old witch is dead!

Both
She s gone where the goblins go
Below, below, below - yo-ho!
Let s open up and sing

Barbra
And ring those bells out...

Harold
Sing the news out!

Barbra
Ding-dong! the merry-o
Sing it high and sing it low
Let them know the wicked old witch is dead

Harold
Why everyone s glad
She took such a crownin

Barbra
Bein hit by a house
Is even worse than drownin

Both
Let em know the wicked old witch is dead!!!
