Wonderful

[WIZARD]

Take it from a wise old carny

Once folks buy into your blarney

It becomes the thing they'll most hold onto

Once they've swallowed sham and hokum

Facts and logic won't unchoke 'em

They'll go on believing what they want to

Show them exactly what's the score

They'll just believe it even more

"Wonderful"

They called me "Wonderful"

So I said, "Wonderful"

If you insist

"Wonderful"

I will be wonderful

[GLINDA & WIZARD]

Believe me, it's hard to rеsist

'Cause it feels wonderful

[GLINDA]

They think hе's wonderful

[WIZARD]

Hey, look who's wonderful

This corn-fed hick

Who said, "It might be keen

To build a town of green

And a wonderful road of yellow brick"

[WIZARD, spoken]

You know, we could be like a—, like a family

You know, I never really had a family

[ELPHABA, spoken]

Lucky you

[WIZARD, spoken]

That's why I've wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything

[ELPHABA, spoken]

So you lied to them?

[WIZARD]

The truth is not a thing of fact or reason

The truth is just what everyone agrees on

[WIZARD, spoken]

You see, back where I come from, we got a whole lot of people who believe all sorts of things that aren't true

You know what we call it?

History

[WIZARD]

A man's called a traitor or liberator

A rich man's a thief or philanthropist

Is one an invader or noble crusader?

It's all in which label is able to persist

There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities

So we act as though they don't exist

[GLINDA]

They call him, "Wonderful"

[WIZARD]

So I am wonderful

[GLINDA]

He is so wonderful

It's part of his name

[GLINDA & WIZARD]

And with our help, you can be the same

[GLINDA, spoken]

Elphie, think of what we could do

Together

[GLINDA]

Unlimited

Together, we're unlimited

Together, we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Elphie

[ELPHABA]

Dreams the way we planned 'em

[GLINDA]

If we work in tandem

[GLINDA & ELPHABA]

There's no fight we cannot win

[WIZARD]

At long, long last, recieve your due

[GLINDA]

Long overdue

[WIZARD]

Elphaba

A celebration throughout Oz that's all to do

With you

[GLINDA & WIZARD]

Wonderful

They'll call you, "Wonderful"

[GLINDA]

Come and be wonderful

[WIZARD]

Trust me, it's fun

[GLINDA]

We will be wonderful

[WIZARD]

You'll make me wonderful

[GLINDA & WIZARD]

Wonderful, wonderful
