[00:00.81]Oh Miss Elphaba
[00:03.03]Many years I have waited
[00:06.39]For a gift like yours to appear
[00:09.94]Why I predict the Wizard
[00:12.07]Could make you his
[00:13.84]Magic grand vizier
[00:17.81]My dear my dear
[00:20.67]I'll write at once to the Wizard
[00:23.85]Tell him of you in advance
[00:27.85]With a talent like yours dear
[00:30.34]There is a defint-ish chance
[00:33.67]If you work as you should
[00:38.62]You'll be making good:
[00:51.36]Did that really just happen
[00:54.08]Have I actually understood
[00:57.20]This weird quirk I've tried
[00:59.11]To suppress or hide
[01:01.27]Is a talent that could
[01:04.56]Help me meet the Wizard
[01:09.13]If I make good
[01:14.25]So I'll make good;
[01:24.19]When I meet the Wizard
[01:27.52]Once I prove my worth
[01:30.85]And then I meet the Wizard
[01:33.42]What I've waited for since
[01:36.07](Since birth )
[01:37.10]And with all his Wizard wisdom
[01:40.20]By my looks he won't be blinded
[01:43.83]Do you think the Wizard is (dumb )
[01:47.10]Or like Munchkins so small-minded
[01:50.27](No ) He'll say to me
[01:52.13]"I see who you truly are -
[01:54.48]A girl of whom I can rely"
[01:57.37]And that's how we'll begin
[02:00.68]The Wizard and I:
[02:08.67]Once I'm with the Wizard
[02:11.91]My whole life will change
[02:15.36]'Cuz once you're with the Wizard
[02:18.48]No one thinks you're strange
[02:21.32]No father is not proud of you
[02:24.90]No sister acts ashamed
[02:28.61]And all of Oz has to love you
[02:31.76]When by the Wizard you're acclaimed
[02:35.13]And this gift or this curse
[02:37.18]I have inside
[02:38.93]Maybe at last I'll know why
[02:42.08]When we are hand in hand -
[02:44.86]The Wizard and I
[02:49.08]And one day he'll say to me"Elphaba
[02:52.32]A girl who is so superior
[02:55.78]Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
[02:59.57]Have a matching exterior
[03:02.12]And since folks here to an absurd degree
[03:05.49]Seem fixated on your verdigris
[03:08.86]Would it be all right by you
[03:12.62]If I de-greenify you"
[03:19.35]And though of course
[03:20.46]That's not important to me
[03:21.91]"All right why not" I'll reply
[03:25.21]Oh what a pair we'll be
[03:27.61]The Wizard and I;
[03:31.70]Yes what a pair we'll be
[03:34.19]The Wizard and
[03:39.89]Unlimited
[03:43.24]My future is unlimited
[03:48.08]And I've just had a vision
[03:49.98]Almost like a prophecy
[03:52.91]I know - it sounds truly crazy
[03:58.00]And true the vision's hazy
[04:01.43]But I swear someday there'll be
[04:05.00]A celebration throughout Oz
[04:08.48]That's all to do with me
[04:19.93]And I'll stand there with the Wizard
[04:24.31]Feeling things I've never felt
[04:28.87]And though I'd never show it
[04:31.31]I'll be so happy I could melt
[04:34.48]And so it will be
[04:36.27]For the rest of my life
[04:38.09]And I'll want nothing else
[04:39.39]Till I die
[04:40.93]Held in such high esteem
[04:43.77]When people see me they will scream
[04:47.01]For half of Oz's favorite team;
[04:53.12]The Wizard
[04:54.96]And I
