Madame Morrible:
Oh, Miss Elphaba--
Many years have I waited
For a gift like yours to appear
Why, I predict the Wizard
Could make you his
Magic Grand Vizier!
My dear, my dear
Ill write at once to the Wizard
Tell him of you in advance
With a talent like yours, dear
There is a defin -ish chance
If you work as you should
Youll be making good
Elphaba:
Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk Ive tried
To suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
Help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So Ill make good
When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet the Wizard
What Ive waited for since--since birth!
And with all his Wizard wisdom
By my looks he wont be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Or like Munchkins, so small-minded?
No! Hell say to me,
'I see who you truly are--
A girl on whom I can rely!'
And thats how well begin
The Wizard and I
Once Im with the Wizard
My whole life will change
Cause once youre with the Wizard
No one thinks youre strange!
No father is not proud of you
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard youre acclaimed!
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last Ill know why
When we are hand in hand
The Wizard and I!
And one day, hell say to me, 'Elphaba--
A girl who is so superior
Shouldnt a girl whos sogood inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?'
And though of course, thats not important to me
'All right, why not?' Ill reply
Oh, what a pair well be
The Wizard and I
Yes, what a pair well be
The Wizard and
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And Ive just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know--it sounds truly crazy
And true, the visions hazy
But I swear, someday therell be
A celebration throughout Oz
Thats all to do with me!
And Ill stand there with the Wizard
Feeling things Ive never felt
And though Ill never show it
Id be so happy I could melt!
And so it will be
For the rest of my life
And Ill want nothing else till I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Ozs favorite team!
The Wizard
And I!
