the wizard and i

Lyrics

, 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 defint-ish 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'll 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 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 all right by you, if i de-greenified you?", and though 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'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, 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!
