Madame Morrible
|
Oh, Miss Elphaba
|
|
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
|
I'll write at once to the Wizard
|
Tell him of you in advance
|
With a talent like yours, dear, there is a definish chance
|
If you work as you should
|
You'll be making good
|
|
|
Elphaba
|
Did that really just happen?
|
Have I actually understood
|
This weird quirk I've tried to suppress 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 then I'll meet the Wizard
|
What I've 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!
|
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
|
'Cos once you're 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
|
When by the Wizard you're acclaimed
|
And this gift or this curse I have inside
|
Maybe at last I'll know why
|
When we are hand-in-hand, the Wizard and I
|
|
|
One day he'll say to me "Elphaba,"
|
"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 verdigre,"
|
"Would it be alright by you if I de-greenify you?"
|
And, of course, that's not important to me
|
"All right, why not!" I'll reply
|
Oh, 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, one day 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! Mm
|
And so it will be for the rest of my life
|
And I'll want nothing else till I die
|
Held in such high esteem
|
When people see me they will scream
|
For half of Oz' favourite team, the Wizard and I
|
