Something Bad

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 ba-ah-ah-ad

Sorry, bad

Must be catching a cold

It couldn't happen here

In Oz
