One Short Day lyrics

Elphaba: [Spoken]
Come with me, to the Emerald City.

Tourists:
One short day
In the Emerald city

Glinda: [Spoken]
Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City!

Tourists:
One short day
In the Emerald City.
One short day
In the Emerald City.
One short day
Full of so much to do.
Ev'ry way
That you look in the city,
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the days through.

What Is This Feeling? lyrics

Galinda: [Spoken]
Dearest, darlingest momsie and popsicle--

Elphaba: [Spoken]
My dear father--

Both:
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz.

Elphaba:
But of course I'll care for Nessa.

Galinda:
But of course I'll rise above it.

Both:
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--

Galinda:

Finale lyrics

Ozians:
No one mourns the wicked.
Now at last, she's dead and gone.
Now at last, there's joy throughout the land.

Good news!
Good news--

Glinda:
Who can say if I've been changed
For the better, but--

Glinda & Elphaba:
Because I knew you!

Ozians:
No one mourns the wicked.

Glinda:
Because I knew you,

Glinda & Elphaba:
I have been changed.

Ozians:
No one mourns--

All:
The wicked!
Wicked!

For Good lyrics

Elphaba:
I'm limited--
Just look at me.
I'm limited,
And just look at you,
You can do all
I couldn't do, Glinda.
So now it's up to you--
For both of us.
Now it's up to you.

Glinda:
I've heard it said
That people come
Into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something
We must learn.
And we are led
To those who help us
Most to grow,
If we let them,
And we help them in return.

Defying Gravity lyrics

Glinda: [Spoken]
Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,
Instead of flying off the handle?!

I hope you're happy,
I hope you're happy now,
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever,
I hope you think you're clever.

Elphaba:
I hope you're happy,
I hope you're happy too,
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition.

Both:

Wonderful lyrics

The Wizard:
I never asked for this,
Or planned it in advance.
I was merely blown here
By the winds of chance.
I never saw myself
As a Solomon or Socrates
I knew who I was--
One of your dime a dozen
Mediocrities.

Then suddenly I'm here
Respected, worshipped, even
Just because the folks in Oz
Needed someone to believe in.
Does it surprise you
I got hooked, and all too soon?
What can I say?

As Long As You're Mine lyrics

Elphaba:
Kiss me too fiercely,
Hold me too tight,
I need help believing
You're with me tonight.
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me!

Just for this moment,
As long as you're mine,
I've lost all resistance,
And crossed some borderline,
And if it turns out
It's over too fast,
I'll make every last moment last--
As long as you're mine.

Fiyero:

Thank Goodness lyrics

Citizens of Oz:
Ev'ry day, more wicked.
Ev'ry day, the terror grows.
All of Oz is ever on alert!
That's the way with Wicked,
Spreading fear where e'er she goes.
Seeking out new victims she can hurt.

Hysterical Woman:
Like some terrible green blizzard
Throughout the land she flies!

Outraged Man:
Defaming our poor Wizard

Crowd:
With her calumnies and lies!
She lies!
Save us from the Wicked.

The Wizard And I lyrics

Madame Morrible:
Oh, Miss Elphaba--
Many years have I 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?

Something Bad lyrics

Dr. Dillamond: [Spoken]
Oh, Miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days.
Dreadful things--
[Sung]
I've heard of an Ox,
A professor from Quox,
No longer permitted to teach,
Who has lost all powers of speech!
And an Owl in Munchkin Rock,
A vicar with a thriving flock,
Forbidden to preach
Now he can only screech!
Only rumors, but still,
Enough to give pause
To anyone with paws!
Something bad
