Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead from The Wizard of Oz (Barbra Streisand and Harold Arlen version) is featured in The Purple Piano Project, the first episode of Season Three. It is sung by Kurt and Rachel.
The song is sung in preparation for their NYADA gathering, but when they go to the event, they are stunned by how many people out there have the same dreams and are exact copies of themselves.
Lyrics[]
Rachel:
Once there was a wicked witch in the lovely land of OZ
And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder witch that never, ever was
Kurt:
She filled the folks in Munchkin Land with terror and with dread
Till one fine day from Kansas
Kurt and Rachel:
A house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her:
Dead!
Rachel (Kurt):
And through the town the joyous news went running
The joyous news that the wicked old witch was finally done in
Ding Dong, the witch is dead (Which old witch?)
Well, uh, the wicked witch (Oh)
Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead (Oh yeah, happy day)
Wake up you sleepy head (Rub your eyes)
And get out of that bed
Wake up, the wicked witch is dead
Kurt and Rachel:
She's gone where the goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let's open up and sing
Rachel:
And ring those bells out
Kurt:
Sing the news out
Rachel:
Hehehe, Ding Dong, the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the wicked old witch is dead
Kurt:
Why, everyone's glad she took such a crownin'
Rachel:
Getting hit by a house is even worse than drownin'
Kurt and Rachel:
Let 'em know the wicked old witch is dead
