Dorothy stepped out of the house to a brand new world: a world full of so many colors it was like a fairy tile come true. There were small cottages with different colored straw roofs, a large fountain that looked more like a river. The water was pure blue, there were giant flowers, and on the ground were two roads that started in a spiral point with each other, one yellow and the other red. One of each led away from the strange village into the countryside.
"Toto? I have a feeling…. we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow."
Behind her, Dorothy saw a large bubble the size of a cannon ball. It grew bigger and bigger until it faded, replacing a very beautiful young girl about her age. She was wearing a pure pink dress and a huge pink crown with red hair that went on ringlets. There was something about her that made Dorothy think of Gwen.
"Now I know we're not in Kansas," Dorothy said to Toto.
The girls walked closer up to them and said, "Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?"
"Why, I'm no witch of any sort," said Dorothy, rather confused. "I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas."
The girl pointed at Toto with her wand, as a long as a walking stick with a star shape on top. "Is that the witch then?"
"Toto? Toto's my dog."
The strange girl chuckled nervously. "I do beg for forgiveness. I'm a little muddled. The Munchkins called me, saying a new witch had just dropped a house."
"Why yes," said Dorothy looking at the house. "That is my house."
"They say it had dropped on the Wicked Witch of the East," the girl continued pointing at the shattered house. "There's the house and here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East."
And she lowered her wand to the ground at two feet wearing black and white stripes and a pair of beautiful red shoes, just like the ones Miss East wore.
Dorothy gasped in fright of what she was looking at. "Oh dear!" she cried. "I am so sorry! I would never mean anything like this to happen!"
"Don't fret my dear," said the girl. "You did a very good deed. She was horrible, merciless, and cruel. After seeing this, the Munchkins only wanted to know was if you were a good witch, or a bad witch."
"But I've already told you," said Dorothy. "I'm not a witch at all. Witches are old and ugly." Then she heard adorable high-pitched giggling. "Huh? What was that?"
"The Mucnhkins," the girl explained. "They are laughing because I am a witch. I am Glinda, the Good Witch of the North."
"You are?" gasped Dorothy, a bit frightened to be in the presence of a witch. "Oh I do apologise. It's just that, I've never heard of a beautiful witch before!"
"Only bad witches are ugly," smiled Glinda. "The Munchkins are very happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East."
"If you please, Glinda," said Dorothy. "What are Munchkins?"
The giggling erupted again.
"The little people who live this land," explained Glinda. "It's Munchkinland, and you are their national heroine, my dear." She wandered about and called, "It's all right, little ones, you may all come out and thank her." And she began to sing.
(Glinda)
Come out, come out wherever you are
And meet the young lady who fell from a star
Then small tiny, people wearing adorable clothing like pinafores, dresses and lederhosen emerged from the bushes looking up and smiling at Dorothy. They looked to her like the ones who complained about Miss East.
She fell from the sky, she fell very far
And Kansas she says is the name of the star.
(Munchkins)
Kansas she says is the name of the star
(Glinda)
She brings you good news, or haven't you heard
When she fell out of Kansas a miracle occurred!
(Dorothy)
It really was no miracle
What happened was just this:
The wind began to switch the house to pitch
And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch
Just then the witch, to satisfy and itch
Went flying on her broomstick thumbling for a hitch
(Munchkin Man)
And oh what happened then was rich
(Munchkins)
The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch
It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch!
The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch
It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch
Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch
Of what was once the wicked witch!
A horse and carriage appeared and a few male Munchkins escorted Dorothy onto it. Two Munchkins came up to her. One of them held a bouquet of flowers and gave them to her.
(Munchkin 1)
We thank you very sweetly for doing it so neatly
(Munchkin 2)
You've killed her so completely,
That we thank you very sweetly
(Glinda)
Let the joyous news be spread
The wicked, old witch at last is dead
All the Munchkins hysterically cheered in pure delight.
(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!
Dorothy was driven to a small cottage but bigger than the rest. Out came a round little Munchkin wearing a ridiculously enormous dark green top hat and green coat and trousers and his waistcoat was yellow. He brought Dorothy out from the carriage and up the steps to the house.
(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...
(Mayor)
To see...
(Judge)
If she...
(Mayor)
If she...
(Judge)
Is morally, ethically
(Munchkin 1)
Spiritually, physically
(Munchkin 2)
Positively, absolutely
(Munchkin Men)
Undeniably and reliably dead!
Then a Munchkin, wearing a black robe and a silly hat. (Its sides were rolled up like wet paper) came up to them with a parchment.
(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!
They all cheered again.
(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!
Then three adorable ballerinas appeared and went up to Dorothy.
(Lullaby League)
We represent the Lullaby League
The Lullaby League, the Lullaby League.
And in the name of the Lullaby League
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land
They were then replaced by three handsome little Munchkins wearing the same clothes but a different colors, torn trousers with striped tights and buttoned T-shirts.
(Lollipop Guild)
We represent the Lollipop Guild
The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild
We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land
(Munchkins)
We welcome you to Munchkin Land
Tra la la la la la la la la la la la
(Munchkin 1)
From now on you'll be history
(Munchkin 2)
You'll be his...
(Munchkin 3)
You'll be his...
(Munchkin 4)
You'll be history
(Munchkin 1)
And we will glorify your name
You will be a bust...
(Munchkin 2)

(Munchkin 3)
Be a bust...
(All)
In the hall of fame
Tra la la la la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la –
A clap of thunder erupted followed by a huge cloud of red smoke. The Munchkins went into hysterics and fell to the floor. Out of the cloud emerged another Witch. She was all in black and her face was green and ugly. It was the exact same Witch Dorothy saw in the twister. Miss Gulch! She ascended over the feet of the dead Witch.
