MADAME MORRIBLE Many years I have waited For a gift like yours to appear Why I predict The Wizard could make you his Magic Grand VIzier My Dear, My Dear If you work hard at your spell-work With ev'ry distraction withstood And do everything I say Then I'm telling you You'll be making good ELPHABA Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried To surpress or hide Is a talent that could Help me meet The Wizard? If I make good So I'll make good ... When I meet The Wizard Once I prove my worth And when I meet The Wizard What I've waited for since - since birth And with all His Wizard wisdom By my looks he won't be blinded Do you think The Wizard is dumb? Or like Munchkins - so small minded - No! He'll say to me: "I see who you truly are A girl on whom I can rely!" And that's how we'll begin The Wizard and I ... Once I'm with The Wizard My whole life will change Cuz once your with The Wizard No one thinks you're strange No father is not proud of you No sister acts ashamed And all of Oz has to love you By The Wizard you're acclaimed But I'll be too busy to think about that With the Wizardly duties piled high Working side by side The Wizard and I And one day he'll say to me: "Elphaba, a girl who is so superior "Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside Have a matching exterior? And since folks here, to an absurd degree Seem fixated on your verdigris Would it be alright by you If I de-greenify you?" And no, of course that's not important to me "Alright, why not?!" I'll reply. What a pair we'll be The Wizard and I Yes, what a pair we'll be The Wizard and - Unlimited My future is unlimited And I just had a vision Almost like a prophecy I know it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday there'll be A celebration throughout Oz That's all to do with me! And I'll stand there with The Wizard Feeling things I've never felt And though I'd never show it I'll be so happy I could melt And so it will be for the rest of my life I'll want nothing else till I die Held in such high esteem When people see me they will scream For half of Oz's favorite team The Wizard and I!
