Wicked - The Wizard And I Lyrics

Complimentary "The Wizard And I" Ringtone

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 definish 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 
'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-greenify you?" 

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 'til I die 
Held in such high esteem 
When people see me, they will scream 
For half of Oz's fav'rite team: 
The Wizard and I!
