Lyrics Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead (Duet With Harold Arlen) - Barbra Streisand , Harold Arlen

Once there was a wicked witch
In the lovely land of Oz
And a wickeder, wickeder
Wickeder witch there 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 runnin'
The joyous news that the wicked old witch
Was finally done in

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 that 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 those bells out
Sing the news out

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

Why everyone's glad
She took such a crownin'
Gettin' hit by a house
Is even worse than drownin'

Let 'em know
The wicked old witch is dead
