Lyrics of ' Something Bad (feat. Cynthia Erivo) ' by Peter Dinklage

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken]
We animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong
Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND]
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

[ANIMALS]
Something bad happening in—

[LION, spoken]
That's it, I'm leaving Oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye"

[ELPHABA, spoken]
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

[ELPHABA]
So nothing bad

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken]
Perhaps you're right

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND & ELPHABA]
Nothing all that bad

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND]
Nothing truly bad

[DOCTOR DILLAMOND, spoken]
Sorry! Bad
Must be catching a cold

[ELPHABA]
It couldn't happen here
In Oz
