Madame Morrible:    Oh, Miss Elphaba--   Many years have I 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 defin-ish 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 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 all right by you   If I de-greenify 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'll 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!
