Something Bad (Feat. Cynthia Erivo)

We animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent I've heard of an Ox, a professor from Quox No longer permitted to teach Who has lost all powers of speech And an Owl in Munchkin Rock A vicar with a thriving flock Forbidden to preach Now he only can screech Only rumors, but still enough to give pause To anyone with paws Something bad is happening in Oz Something bad happening in— That's it, I'm leaving Oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye" Doctor Dillamond If animals are losing the ability to speak, leaving Oz, then Someone's got to tell the Wizard That's why we have a Wizard So nothing bad Perhaps you're right Nothing all that bad Nothing truly bad Sorry! Bad Must be catching a cold It couldn't happen here In Oz
