[00:01.74]Lyrics by：Stephen Schwartz

[00:09.92]Many years I have waited
[00:12.15]For a gift like yours to appear
[00:15.83]Why I predict the Wizard might make you his
[00:20.49]Magic grand vizier
[00:24.64]My dear my dear
[00:26.62]I'll write at once to the Wizard
[00:30.47]Tell him of you in advance
[00:33.74]With a talent like yours dear
[00:36.07]There is a defin-ish chance
[00:39.99]If you work as you should
[00:44.88]You'll be making good
[01:06.44]Did that really just happen?
[01:09.00]Have I actually understood?
[01:13.04]This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
[01:18.40]Is a talent that could
[01:21.54]Help me meet the Wizard
[01:27.02]If I make good
[01:32.45]So I'll make good
[01:42.87]When I meet the Wizard
[01:46.05]Once I prove my worth
[01:49.36]And then I meet the Wizard
[01:51.76]What I've waited for since since birth
[01:55.06]And with all his Wizard wisdom
[01:58.23]By my looks he won't be blinded
[02:01.72]Do you think the Wizard is dumb
[02:05.23]Or like munchkins so small-minded?
[02:07.94]No
[02:08.62]He'll say to me I see who you truly are
[02:11.93]A girl on whom I can rely
[02:14.81]And that's how we'll begin
[02:17.91]The Wizard and I
[02:26.19]Once I'm with the Wizard
[02:29.16]My whole life will change
[02:32.49]'Cause once you're with the Wizard
[02:35.53]No one thinks you're strange
[02:38.15]No father is not proud of you
[02:41.63]No sister acts ashamed
[02:45.33]And all of Oz has to love you
[02:48.30]When by the Wizard you're acclaimed
[02:51.76]And this gift or this curse I have inside
[02:55.38]Maybe at last I'll know why
[02:58.47]As we work hand in hand
[03:01.24]The Wizard and I
[03:05.51]And one day he'll say to me Elphaba
[03:08.21]A girl who is so superior
[03:12.05]Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
[03:15.55]Have a matching exterior?
[03:18.11]And since folks here to an absurd degree
[03:21.75]Seem fixated on your verdigris
[03:25.05]Would it be all right by you
[03:29.36]If I de-greenify you?
[03:34.57]And though of course that's not important to me
[03:38.23]All right why not? I'll reply
[03:41.52]Oh what a pair we'll be
[03:44.13]The Wizard and I
[03:48.35]Yes what a pair we'll be
[03:51.04]The Wizard and
[03:59.70]Unlimited
[04:03.73]My future is unlimited
[04:08.63]And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
[04:13.29]I know it sounds truly crazy
[04:18.83]And true the vision's hazy
[04:22.45]But I swear someday there'll be
[04:26.10]A celebration throughout Oz
[04:29.74]That's all to do with me
[04:40.02]And I'll stand there with the Wizard
[04:45.31]Feeling things I've never felt
[04:49.77]And though I'd never show it
[04:52.02]I'd be so happy I could melt
[04:55.55]And so it will be for the rest of my life
[04:59.04]And I'll want nothing else till I die
[05:02.07]Held in such high esteem
[05:06.77]When people see me they will scream
[05:10.07]For half of Oz's fav'rite team
[05:17.09]The Wizard and I
