Wicked movie - The Wizard and I lyrics
rate meSong by Idina Menzel<br /><br>
MADAME MORRIBLE:<br>
(spoken)<br>
Oh, Miss Elphaba<br>
(sung/spoken)<br>
Many years I have waited<br>
For a gift like yours to appear<br>
Why, I predict the Wizard<br>
Could make you his<br>
Magic grand vizier!<br>
My dear, my dear<br>
I'll write at once to the Wizard<br>
Tell him of you in advance<br>
With a talent like yours, dear<br>
There is a defint-ish chance<br>
If you work as you should<br>
You'll be making good:<br>
<br>
ELPHABA:<br>
Did that really just happen?<br>
Have I actually understood?<br>
This weird quirk I've tried<br>
To suppress or hide<br>
Is a talent that could<br>
Help me meet the Wizard<br>
If I make good<br>
So I'll make good;<br>
<br>
When I meet the Wizard,<br>
Once I prove my worth,<br>
And then I meet the Wizard<br>
What I've waited for since,<br>
(Spoken: Since birth!)<br>
And with all his Wizard wisdom,<br>
By my looks, he won't be blinded.<br>
Do you think the Wizard is (Spoken: dumb?)<br>
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?<br>
(Spoken: No!) He'll say to me,<br>
"I see who you truly are -<br>
A girl of whom I can rely!"<br>
And that's how we'll begin<br>
The Wizard and I:<br>
<br>
Once I'm with the Wizard<br>
My whole life will change<br>
'Cuz once you're with the Wizard<br>
No one thinks you're strange!<br>
No father is not proud of you,<br>
No sister acts ashamed<br>
And all of Oz has to love you<br>
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed<br>
And this gift or this curse<br>
I have inside<br>
Maybe at last, I'll know why<br>
When we are hand and hand -<br>
The Wizard and I!<br>
<br>
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,<br>
A girl who is so superior,<br>
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside<br>
Have a matching exterior?<br>
And since folks here to an absurd degree<br>
Seem fixated on your verdigris.<br>
Would it be all right by you<br>
If I de-greenify you?"<br>
<br>
And though of course,<br>
That's not important to me.<br>
"All right, why not?" I'll reply<br>
Oh, what a pair we'll be<br>
The Wizard and I;<br>
Yes, what a pair we'll be<br>
The Wizard and...<br>
<br>
Unlimited<br>
My future is unlimited<br>
And I've just had a vision<br>
Almost like a prophecy<br>
I know - it sounds truly crazy<br>
And true, the vision's hazy<br>
But I swear, someday there'll be<br>
A celebration throughout Oz<br>
That's all to do with me!<br>
<br>
And I'll stand there with the Wizard,<br>
Feeling things I've never felt.<br>
And though I'd never show it,<br>
I'll be so happy, I could melt!<br>
And so it will be<br>
For the rest of my life,<br>
And I'll want nothing else<br>
Till I die.<br>
Held in such high esteem.<br>
When people see me, they will scream<br>
For half of Oz's favorite team;<br>
The Wizard<br>
And I!!!!<br>
