Lyrics for Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead

Once there was a wicked witch in the lovely land of ours And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder witch that never, never was She filled the folks in munchkin land with terror and with dread Till one fine day from Kansas way a cyclone caught her house That brought the wicked wicked door mat she was flying on her broom For the house fell on her head and the coroner pronounced her dead And through the town the joyous news was spread 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 old 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-O, sing it high and sing it low Let them know that 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-O, sing it high and sing it low Let them know that wicked witch, that wicked witch is dead
