Lyrics: Finale

[Ozians:] 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!!

(The Scarecrow (Fiyero) walks on stage. He bends down and knocks on a trap door in the floor.)

[Fiyero:] It worked!

(He opens the door and Elphaba climbs out.)

[Elphaba:] Fiyero! I thought you'd never get here.

(She touches his straw face.)

[Fiyero:] Go ahead, touch, I don't mind. Ah, you did the best you could. You saved my life.
[Elphaba:] You're still beautiful.
[Fiyero:] You don't have to lie to me.
[Elphaba:] It's not lying... Its’ looking at things another way.
[Ozians:] No one mourns the wicked
Now at last she's dead and gone!
Now at last there's joy throughout the land!
[Glinda:] Fellow ozians, friends, we have been through a frightening time. There will be other times and other things that frighten us. But if you let me, I’d like to try to help. I’d like to try to be... Glinda the Good.
[Ozians:] Good news!!
[Fiyero:] It's time to go.
[Elphaba:] We can never come back to Oz, can we?
[Fiyero:] No.
[Elphaba:] I only wish...
[Fiyero:] What?
[Elphaba:] Glinda could know that we're alive.
[Fiyero:] She can't know, not if we want to be safe. No one can ever know.
[Ozians:] Good news...
[Fiyero:] Come...
[Glinda:] Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But...
[Elphaba and Glinda:] Because I knew you...
[Ozians:] No one mourns the wicked...
[Glinda:] Because I knew you...
[Elphaba and Glinda:] I have been changed...

(Fiyero and Elphaba leave through the clock)

[Ozians:] No one mourns the wicked!
Wicked...
Wicked!!!
