The Wizard and I from the broadway musical WICKED.
PLEASE COMMENT AND RATE!!!~:D
NOTE* I tried to match all of the pictures with her emotions. So I don't want to hear "well, you used the same pictures over and over."
NOTE* Due to the amt. of comments on my Solla Sollew Lyrics vid about how they are or are not the broadway singers, I'm gonna say now that all singers are the Broadway actors.
LYRICS: MADAME MORRIBLE
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 defin-ish chance
If you work as you should
You'll be making good:
ELPHABA
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 and 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-greenify 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'll 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 fav'rite team:
The Wizard
And I!
It's such a shame that some of the more recent Morribles can't sing. Carole Shelley was a wonderful singer :)
