Текст песни
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 definite 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 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 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 alright by you
If I de-greenify you?"
And though, of course, that's not important to me
"Alright, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be, the wizard and I
