Evil! Yes, Evil Reigns

To the tune of Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead in The Wizard of Oz. See also the alternate version of this song, sung by the angels after the second coming of Christ.

New Lyrics (as sung by Satan's Legions before the second coming of Christ) Original Lyrics
Evil! Yes, evil reigns.
Our wicked plan is making gains!
Satan! Yes, Satan is God's bane!
Assault our enemy.
Camouflage - pretend to be.
Don't let them see what's going on.
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.
We'll go where Christian go,
To church - to church - to church.
Yo-ho, exploiting night and
Take the holy ground out.
Evil! The Devil reigns.
Shout out loud. Whisper low.
Let them know.
That Satan's hold has spread!
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!
SATAN
As ruler of the nether lands
In the darkest places in the mind
I cheer you on most evilly.
MAYOR
As Mayor of the Munchkin City,
In the County of the Land of Oz,
I welcome you most regally.
SMALL DEMON
But God is still in heaven.
There, we cannot see...
BARRISTER
But we've got to verify it
Legally, to see.
SATAN
Us see?
MAYOR
To see?
SMALL DEMON
If He
BARRISTER
If she
SATAN
If HE?
MAYOR
If she?
SMALL DEMON
Is ambushing, patrolling
BARRISTER
Is morally, ethic'lly
LEGION COMMANDER
Pincer movement, countermeasures
FATHER #1
Spiritually, physically
SMALL DEMON 2
Reconnaissance, fire and movement
FATHER #2
Positively, absolutely
LEGIONS
Undeniably enveloping us all.
MUNCHKINS
Undeniably and reliably dead
SMALL DEMON 3
I've infiltrated their weak ranks.
Deceptions rampant, no one prays.
The madman cried that God is dead.
Said, "We have killed Him, you and I."*
CORONER
As Coroner I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
She's really most sincerely dead.
SATAN
Then this is a day of welcome victory
For all the devils and their progeny.
MAYOR
Then this is a day of Independence
For all the Munchkins and their descendants
SMALL DEMON
Glory!
BARRISTER
If any.
SATAN
Yes, let the wicked news be spread -
The Devil reigns and
Their God is dead.
MAYOR
Yes, let the joyous news be spread -
The wicked Old Witch
At last is dead!
