Текст песни Thank Goodness - Idina Menzel , Kristin Chenoweth

Everyday, more Wicked
Everyday, the terror grows
All of Oz is ever on alert

That's the way with Wicked
Spreading fear wherever she goes
Seeking out new victims she can hurt

Like some terrible green blizzard
Through the land she flies!
Defaming our poor Wizard
With her calumnies and lies!
She lies!!

Save us from the Wicked
Shield is so we won't be hexed
Give us warning
Where will she strike next
Where will she strike next

Fellow Ozians, as terrifying as terror is, let us put our panic aside for this one day, and celebrate!

Oh, what a celebration we'll have today!
Thank goodness!
Let's have a celebration the Glinda way!
Thank goodness!

Finally a day that's totally Wicked-Witch free!
We couldn't be happier
Thank goodness!

Yes, we couldn't be happier
Right, dear?
Couldn't be happier
Right here

Look what we've got
A fairytale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn't be happier
True, dear?
Couldn't be happier

And we're happy to share
Our ending vicariously with all of you!
He couldn't look handsomer
I couldn't feel humbler
We couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true

And, Glinda, dear we are happy for you
As Press Secretary, I have striven to ensure that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism:

The day you were first summoned
To an audience with Oz
And although he would not tell you why, initially
When you bowed before his throne
He decreed you hence be known
As Glinda the Good, officially!

Then with a jealous squeal!
The Wicked Witch burst from concealment
Where she had been lurking surrpertitially...

I hear she has an extra eye
That always remains awake
I hear that she can shed her skin
As easily as a snake

I hear some rebel animals
Are giving her food and shelter
I hear her soul is so unclean
Pure water can melt her
What?!
Melt her!
Please, somebody go and melt her!!

Do you hear that?! Water will melt her?! People are so empty-headed, they'll believe anything!
Fiyero! Oh, yes, thanks plenty, dearest.
He's gone to fetch me a refreshment... He's so thoughtful that way...

That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though, it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated

But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well, not simply...
'Cause getting your dreams
Strange but it seems
A little, well, complicated

There's a kind of a sort of cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed!

And if that joy, that thrill...
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still, with this perfect finale
The cheers and the ballyhoo
Who wouldn't be happier?

So, I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens
When your dreams come true!

We love you Glinda, if we may be so frank!
Thank goodness!
For all this joy we know who we've got to thank!
Thank goodness!

That means the Wizard, Glinda
And fiancé
They couldn't be goodier!
She couldn't be lovelier!
We couldn't be luckier!
I couldn't be happier!
Thank goodness!
Today!
Thank goodness for today!!
