Lyrics

Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical
 My dear Father
 There's been some confusion
 Over rooming here at Shiz
 But of course, I'll care for Nessa
 But of course, I'll rise above it
 For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
 Yes
 There's been some confusion
 For you see, my room-mate is
 Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
 And altogether quite impossible to describe
 Blonde!
 What is this feeling?
 So sudden and new?
 I felt it the moment
 I laid eyes on you
 My pulse is rushing
 My head is reeling
 My face is flushing
 What is this feeling?
 Fervid as a flame
 Does it have a name?
 Yes
 Loathing
 Unadulterated loathing
 For your face
 Your voice
 Your clothing
 Let's just say - I loathe it all
 Ev'ry little trait, however small
 Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
 With simple utter loathing
 There's a strange exhilaration
 In such total detestation
 It's so pure and so strong!
 Though I do admit it came on fast
 Still I do believe that it can last
 And I will be loathing
 Loathing you
 My whole life long!
 Dear Galinda, you are just too good
 How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
 She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
 We don't mean to show a bias
 But Galinda, you're a martyr!
 Well, these things are sent to try us!
 Poor Galinda, forced to reside
 With someone so disgusticified
 We all just want to tell you
 We're all on your side!
 We share your loathing
 What is this feeling
 So sudden and new (Unadulterated loathing)
 I felt the moment (For her face, her voice)
 I laid eyes on you (Her clothing)
 My pulse is rushing (Let's just say:)
 My head is reeling
 (We loathe it all!)
 Oh, what is this feeling?
 (Every little trait however small)
 Does it have a name? (Makes our very flesh)
 Yes: (Begin to crawl)
 Ahhh (Ahhh)
 Loathing!
 (Loathing!)
 There's a strange exhilaration (Loathing)
 In such total detestation (Loathing)
 It's so pure and so strong
 (So strong)
 Though I do admit it came on fast
 Still I do believe that it can last
 And I will be loathing (Loathing)
 For forever loathing (Loathing)
 Truly deeply loathing you (Loathing you)
 My whole life long!
 (Loathing, unadulterated loathing)
 Boo!
 Aahh!
