Carole Shelley, Idina Menzel - The Wizard And I
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
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 smallminded
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 and 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 degreenify 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'll 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 fav'rite team
The Wizard
