The Wizard and I

The Wizard and I - Wicked 4 Kids Chorus

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 defintish chance

If you work as you should

You'll be making good

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 of 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

Cause 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

And though

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

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
