[Wizard]
Take it from a WSE Wold Carney
Once folks buy into your garney
It'll become the thing they'll most hold on to
Once they've swalloed Shammon, hook 'em
Facts and logic won't unchoke them
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 and Wizard]
Believe me, it's hard to resist
'Cause it feels wonderful
[Glinda]
They think he'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]
You know, we could be like a family
You know, I never really had a family
[Elphaba]
Lucky you
[Wizard]
That's why I've wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything
[Elphaba]
So you lied to them?
[Wizard]
The truth is not a fact or reason
The truth is just what everyone agrees on
[Wizard]
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 a crusader or ruthless invader?
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 and Wizard]
And with our help, you can be the same
[Glinda]
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 and Elphaba]
There's no fight we cannot win
[Wizard]
At long, long last, receive your due
[Glinda]
Long overdue
[Wizard]
Elphaba
A celebration throughout Oz that's all to do
With you
[Glinda and 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 and Wizard]
Wonderful, wonderful
