We Welcome You to Munchkinland Lyrics – Wizard Of Oz, The

Glinda:
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.

Munchkins
Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.

Glinda
She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.

Dorothy
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.

Munchkins
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.
*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.
... 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!

[MUNCHKINS]
Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you 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's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!

[MAYOR]
As mayor of the Munchkin City
In the county of the land of Oz
I welcome you most regally
[JUDGE]
But we've got to verify it legally
To see

[MAYOR]
To see

[JUDGE]
If she

[MAYOR]
If she

[JUDGE]
Is morally, ethically

[MUNCHKIN 1]
Spiritually, physically

[MUNCHKIN 2]
Positively, absolutely

[MUNCHKIN MEN]
Undeniably and reliably dead!

[CORONER]
As Coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead
She's really most sincerely dead
[MAYOR]
Then this is a day of independence
For all the Munchkins and their descendants, if any
Yes, let the joyous news be spread
The wicked Old Witch at last is dead!

[MUNCHKINS]
Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you 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's the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead!
