No One Mourns The Wicked - From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003

Good news
She's dead
The Witch of the West is dead
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz is dead
Good news
Good news

(Look, it's Glinda)

Fellow Ozians
Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know?
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and-

No one mourns the Wicked
No one cries "they won't return"
(No one lays a lily on their grave)
The good man scorns the Wicked
(Through their lives, our children learn)
(What we miss when we misbehave)

And goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
It just shows, when you're wicked
You're left only
On your own

(Yes, goodness knows)
(The Wicked's lives are lonely)
(Goodness knows)
(The Wicked cry alone)
(Nothing grows for the wicked)
(They reap only)
(What they've sown)

Are people born wicked?
Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?
After all, she had a father
She had a mother, as so many do

How I hate to go and leave you lonely
That's alright, it's only just one night
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight

And like every family, they had their secrets

Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
I've got one more night left here in town
So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another little swallow, little lady
And follow me down

And of course from the moment she was born, she was, well, different
It's coming (now?)
The baby's coming (and how?)
I see a nose (I see a curl)
It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little-
Aah, sweet Oz
What is it? What's wrong?

How can it be? (what does it mean?)
It's atrocious (it's obscene)
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally
Green

Take it away
Take it away
So you see, it couldn't have been easy
(No one mourns the Wicked)
(Now, at last, she's dead and gone)
(Now, at last, there's joy throughout the land)

(And goodness knows)
(We know what goodness is)
(Goodness knows)
The Wicked die alone (she died alone)
Woe to those (woe to those)
(Who spurn what Goodnesses)
(They are shown)

No one mourns the Wicked
Good news
No one mourns the Wicked
Good news
No one mourns the Wicked
Wicked
Wicked
