Ella Fitzgerald - Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead

Once there was a wicked witch
In the lovely land of Oz
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 a house
That brought the wickeder, wickeder witcher dome
At 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 - 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' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

[instrumental]

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-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
That Wicked Witch...
That Wicked Witch is dead!

Ella Fitzgerald makes me with I was born a generation earlier. Long after Lady Gaga passes out of memory we will be tapping out toes to this song!

[moelang22]

So, I am one of those annoying people who came here because of Glee. Question for all of you who are more knowledgeable than me: is this the true original of this version of the song? I know it all started with the Wizard of Oz, but is this jazz version, the original? Thanks.

[OhMyEdwardx3]

Glee brought me here<3
