[MADAME MORRIBLE:]
[spoken]
Oh, Miss Elphaba
[sung/spoken]
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 defint-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´ll meet the Wizard
What I´ve waited for since,
[Spoken]
Since birth!
[Sung]
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
By my looks, he won´t be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is
[Spoken]
dumb?
[Sung]
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
[Spoken]
No!
[Sung]
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 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-greenified 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´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!
