Lyric

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 definite chance

If you work as you should

You'll be making good

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 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

'Cause 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, 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 though, of course, that's not important to me

"Alright, 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've 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'd be so happy, I could melt

And so it will be for the rest of my life

And I'll want nothing else 'til 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

- It's already the end -
