The Wizard And I - From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003

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 defint-ish 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'll 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
 'Cuz 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-greenified 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'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'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!
