The Wizard and I (Live)

When I meet the Wizard

Once I prove my worth

And when I meet the Wizard

What I've been waiting 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

'Cause once you're with the Wizard

No one thinks your strange

No father is not proud of you

No sister acts ashamed

All of Oz has to love you

And 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

One day, he'll say to me

"Elphaba, girl who is so superior

Shouldn't a girl that'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-green-ify you?"

And though 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 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

Feelings 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
