Ever seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz" Staring Judy Garland? It's a song from that, the munchkins sing it after the Wicked Witch of the West's sister is smooshed under Dorthy's house. And from 60's or 70's...your way off try like late 30's early 40's...hoped i helped.

Maureen McGovern did. Here are the lyrics:
Once, there was a Wicked Witch
In the lovely land of Oz
And a wickeder, wickeder, wickeder,
Wickeder Witch, there never was
She filled the folks in Munchkinland
With terror and with dread
'Til one fine day from Kansas way,
A cyclone caught a house that brought
The Wicked, Wicked Witch her doom
As 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, you 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!
SCATTING INTERLUDE
Ding dong! The Witch is dead
Which old witch, the Wicked Witch!
Ding dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up, you sleepy-head
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Ding dong! 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!
SPOKEN:
She's dead!

This song originates from the ever so popular musical/movie..."The Wizard of Oz"....I believe the munchkins are celebrating the death of the wicked witch from the west...."You have to see this".

I'm not sure who the actual performers were but it IS on the soundtrack from the move, "The Wizard of Oz"
