THANK GOODNESS/I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

[GLINDA] Oh, what a celebration we'll have today [CROWD] (Thank goodness!) [GLINDA] Let's have a celebration the “Glinda” way! [CROWD] (Thank goodness!) [MORRIBLE] Fin'lly a day that's totally wicked-witch-free [ALL] (We couldn't be happier Thank goodness!) [MORRIBLE] (Thank goodness for you, Glinda!) (And your handsome swain, Prince Fiyero,) (newly appointed Captain of the Gale Force.) (Tell us, Captain, how does it feel, being engaged?) [FIYERO] (We're engaged?) [GLINDA] (Surprised?) [FIYERO] (Yes!) [GLINDA] (Good! We hoped you'd be... the Wizard and I!) We couldn't be happier Right, dear? Couldn't be happier Right here Look what we've got: A fairy-tale 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! [MORRIBLE] (And Glinda dear, we are happy for you!) (As Press Secretary, I've striven to ensure) (that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism) (in the face of the terrifying Wicked Witch of the West.) [INDIVIDUAL OZIANS] 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! [CROWD] (Melt her! Please, somebody go and melt her!) [FIYERO] (I can't just stand here grinning,) (pretending to go along with all this.) [GLINDA] (Fiyero!) (Thanks plenty, dearest.) (He's, um, 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 It's 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 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! [CROWD] (We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank!) [GLINDA] Thank goodness! [CROWD] (For all this joy,) (we know who we've got to thank: Thank goodness!) (That means: the wizard Glinda...) [GLINDA] And fiance! [CROWD] (They couldn't be goodlier She couldn't be lovelier) (We couldn't be luckier) [GLINDA] I couldn't be happier [CROWD] (Thank goodness) [GLINDA] Today! [CROWD] (Today!) (Thank goodness for today! Thank goodness for today!)
