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

Judge:

Spiritually, physically
Munchkin 2:
Positively, absolutely
Munchkin Men:
Undeniably and reliably dead
Coroner:
As Coroner, 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
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 sleepyhead
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
