Lyrics: The Wizard And I

[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,
'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 that 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 obscured degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be alright by you
If I degreenify you?"
And of course that's not important to me "alright! 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 some day 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!!!!
