Maureen McGovern - Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead lyrics

Once, there was a Wicked Witch

In the lovely land of Oz

And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder,

Wickeder Witch, there never was

She filled the folks in Munchkinland

With terror and with dread

'Til one fine day from Kansas way,

A cyclone caught a house that brought

The Wicked, Wicked Witch her doom

As she was flying on her broom

For the house fell on her head

And the coroner pronounced her dead

And through the town, the joyous news was spread

Ding dong! The Witch is dead

Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!

Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead

Wake up, you sleepy-head

Rub your eyes, get out of bed

Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead

She's gone where the goblins go, below

Below, below, yo-ho

Let's open up and sing

And ring the bells out

Ding dong! The merry-oh

Sing it high, sing it low

Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!

SCATTING INTERLUDE

Ding dong! The Witch is dead

Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!

Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead

Wake up, you sleepy-head

Rub your eyes, get out of bed

Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead

She's gone where the goblins go, below

Below, below, yo-ho

Let's open up and sing

And ring the bells out

Ding dong! The merry-oh

Sing it high, sing it low

Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!

SPOKEN:

She's dead!
