Wonderful

Lyrics

[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
