Wicked What Is This Feeling? Lyrics

GLINDA
Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical...

ELPHABA
My dear Father...

BOTH
THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
OVER ROOMING HERE AT SHIZ ...

ELPHABA
BUT OF COURSE, I'LL CARE FOR NESSA ...

GLINDA
BUT OF COURSE, I'LL RISE ABOVE IT ...

BOTH
FOR I KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU'D WANT ME TO RESPOND
YES, THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
FOR YOU SEE, MY ROOM-MATE IS ...

Both pause, regard each other, trying to find the words ...

GLINDA
UNUSUALLY AND EXCEEDINGLY PECULIAR
AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ...

ELPHABA
(after a beat)
BLONDE.

GLINDA
WHAT IS THIS FEELING
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?

ELPHABA
I FELT THE MOMENT
I LAID EYES ON YOU ...

GLINDA
MY PULSE IS RUSHING ...

ELPHABA
MY HEAD IS REELING ...

GLINDA
MY FACE IS FLUSHING ...

BOTH
WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
FERVID AS A FLAME
DOES IT HAVE A NAME?
YES!:
LOATHING
UNADULTERATED LOATHING ...

GLINDA
FOR YOUR FACE...

ELPHABA
YOUR VOICE ...

GLINDA
YOUR CLOTHING ...

BOTH
LET'S JUST SAY -- I LOATHE IT ALL!
EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT, HOWEVER SMALL
MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL
WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING
THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION
IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
IT'S SO PURE! SO STRONG!
THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST
STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST
AND I WILL BE LOATHING
LOATHING YOU
MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!

STUDENTS
DEAR GALINDA, YOU ARE JUST TOO GOOD!
HOW DO YOU STAND IT? I DON'T THINK I COULD!
SHE'S A TERROR! SHE'S A TARTAR!
WE DON'T MEAN TO SHOW A BIAS
BUT GALINDA YOU'RE A MARTYR!

GLINDA
WELL ... THESE THINGS ARE SENT TO TRY US!

STUDENTS
POOR GALINDA, FORCED TO RESIDE
WITH SOMEONE SO DISGUSTICIFIED
WE JUST WANT TO TELL YOU:
WE'RE ALL ON YOUR SIDE!
WE SHARE YOUR ...

GLINDA AND ELPHABA sing simultaneously with students [see their part below]

WHAT IS THIS FEELING
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?
I FELT THE MOMENT
I LAID EYES ON YOU
MY PULSE IS RUSHING
MY HEAD IS REELING
OH, WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

DOES IT HAVE A NAME?

YES ...

STUDENTS:
LOATHING
UNADULTERATED LOATHING
FOR HER FACE, HER VOICE
HER CLOTHING
LET'S JUST SAY:
WE LOATHE IT ALL!

EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT
HOWEVER SMALL

MAKES OUR VERY FLESH
BEGIN TO CRAWL ...

ALL:
AHHH ...
LOATHING!

GLINDA AND ELPHABA:

[Here students sing "Loathing" in counter point a number of times]

THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION
IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
SO PURE, SO STRONG!

STUDENTS
SO STRONG!

GLINDA AND ELPHABA
(Students sing back-up "loathing")
THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST
STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST ALL
AND I WILL BE LOATHING
FOR FOREVER LOATHING
TRULY, DEEPLY LOATHING YOU LOATHING YOU
FOR MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!

STUDENTS:
UNADULTERATED LOATHING

ELPHABA
BOO!

GLINDA
AHH!
