Elphaba in The Wizard and I

The Wizard and I lyrics

Did that really just happen

Have I actually understood

This weird quirk I've tried

To surpress and hide

Is a talent that could

Help me meet the Wizard

If I make good

So I'll make good

Once I'm with the Wizard

Once I prove my worth

Then 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 Munchkin, 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

When I'm with the Wizard

My whole life will change

Cuz 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

And one day he'll say to me, "Elphaba,

The 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 verdigree,

Would it be alright be you

If I de-greenify you?"

And of course that's not important to me

"All right, why not?" I'll reply

And what a pair we'll be

The Wizard and I

Yes what a pair we'll be

The Wizard and I

Unlimited

My future is Unlimited

And I've just had a visiov almost like a prophecy

I know, it sound's truly crazy

And true, the visions hazy

But someday I swear they'll be

A celebration through out Oz

That's all to do with me!

And I'll stand there with the Wizard

Feeling things I've never felt

And although I'd never show it

I'd be so happy I could melt!

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's favorite team

The Wizard and I
