Dr. Dillamond: (spoken) Oh miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days! Dreadful things!
(sung) I've heard of an ox a professor from Crox no longer permitted to teach - who has lost all powers of speech!
And an owl in Munchkin loch, a vicar with a thriving flock, forbidden to preach... how he only can screech!

Only rumors, but still, enough to give pause to anyone with paws! Something bad, is happening is oz...
Elphaba: Something bad happening in Oz?
Dr Dillamond: Under the surface, behind the scenes something BAAAAAAAA!

(spoken) oh... I'm sorry... bad!
Elphaba:(spoken) Dr. Dillamond, If something bad is happening to the Animals, someone has to tell the wizard. that's why we have a wizard!
(sung) so nothing bad

Dr Dillamond: (spoken) I hope you're right...
Both: (sung) Nothing all that bad
Dr Dillamond: (sung) Nothing truly BAAAAAAAAAA!

(spoken) sorry... bad!
Elphaba: (sung) It couldn't happen here... in Oz....
