barbra streisand - ding-dong! the witch is dead! lyrics

[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!!!
