WIZARD
I never asked for this or planned it in advance
I was merely blown here by the winds of chance
I never saw myself as a Solomon or Socrates
I knew who I was, one of your dime-a-dozen Mediocrities

Then suddenly I'm here, respected, worshipped, even
Just because the folks in Oz needed someone to believe in
Does it surprise you I got hooked, and all too soon?
What can I say, I got carried away and not just by balloon

Wonderful, they called me wonderful
So I said wonderful, if you insist
I will be wonderful and they said, wonderful
Believe me, it's hard to resist

'Cause it feels wonderful, they think I'm wonderful
Hey, look who's wonderful, this corn-fed hick
Who said, it might be keen to build a town of green
And a wonderful road of yellow brick

See, I never had a family of my own
So, I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything

ELPHABA
So you lied to them.

WIZARD
Elphaba, where I'm from, we believe all sorts of
Things that aren't true, we call it history

A man's called a traitor or liberator
A rich man's a thief or philanthropist
Is one a crusader or ruthless invader?
It's all in which label is able to persist

There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't exist
They call me wonderful, so I am wonderful
In fact, it's so much who I am, it's part of my name
And with my help, you can be the same

At long, long last receive your due, long overdue
Elphaba, the most celebrated are the rehabilitated
There'll be such a whoop-de-doo
A celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with you

Wonderful, they'll call you wonderful

ELPHABA
It does sound wonderful

WIZARD
Trust me, it's fun

ELPHABA & WIZARD
When you are wonderful
It would be wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful

WIZARD
One! Two! And...
