Munchkinland
Dorothy's Arrival in Oz Scene
____________________

Dorothy
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore! We must be over the rainbow!
Now I - I know we're not in Kansas!
Glinda
Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy
Who, me! I - I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale, from Kansas.
Glinda
Oh! Well, is that the Witch?
Dorothy
Who, Toto? Toto's my dog.
Glinda
Well, I'm a little muddled. The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East.
And there's the house, and here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.
And so, what the Munchkins want to know is - are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Dorothy
But I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all. Witches are old and ugly. What was that?
Glinda
The Munchkins. They're laughing because I am a witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.
Dorothy
You are! I beg your pardon! But I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
Glinda
Only bad witches are ugly.
Glinda
The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East.
Dorothy
Oh. But - if you please, what are Munchkins?
Glinda
The little people who live in this land. It's Munchkinland, and you are their national heroine, my dear.
It's all right - you may all come out and thank her.

( Munchkinland )

Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star.
She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard? When she fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.
It really was no miracle. What happened was just this.
The wind began to switch - the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
Just then the Witch - to satisfy an itch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
And oh, what happened then was rich.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch. It landed on the Wicked Witch
in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
(* = repeated)
... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.

Munchkin #1
We thank you very sweetly, for doing it so neatly.
Munchkin #2
You've killed her so completely, that we thank you very sweetly.
Glinda
Let the joyous news be spread, The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!

( Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead! )

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of 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 the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
