(Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead ringtone)
Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead is one of the best-known songs from The Wizard of Oz — which, oddly enough doesn’t have any of the major characters singing in the number. Oddly enough, one of the voices dubbed for the Munchkins belongs to Pinto Colvig, the voice of Walt Disney’s Goofy, Popeye’s Bluto, and the original Bozo the Clown.
Munchkins
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!
