Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead

Barbra Streisand with Harold Arlen

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, ah
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!
(Which old witch?)
Well, ah, the wicked witch (oh)
Ding-Dong! The wicked witch is dead!
(Oh, we have happy day)
Wake up you sleepy head, ah
(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, ah

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

Let 'em know the wicked old witch is dead…
