MADAME MORRIBLE
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 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 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 de-greenify you?

And 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 favourite team, the Wizard and I
