Every Day More Wicked lyrics - Wicked Movie Cast & Cynthia Erivo (feat. Michelle Yeoh & Ariana Grande)
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Ozians:]
Every day more wicked
Every day, the terror grows
All of Oz is ever on alert
That's the way with wicked
Spreading fear wherever she goes
Seeking out new victims she can hurt
[Madame Morrible:]
Like some terrible green blizzard, throughout the land she flies
Defaming our poor Wizard with her calumnies and lies
[All:]
She lies
She lies
[Ozians:]
Save us from the wicked
Shield us so we won't be hexed
Give us warning, where will she strike next?
Where will she strike next?
Where will she strike next?
[Elphaba:]
When I stop the Wizard
All Oz will applaud
How I saved them from the Wizard
By revealing he's a fraud
If I can just make them believe in the truth
That all that he says is a lie
That's when they'll finally bid
The Wizard goodbye
[Ozians:]
Dearest Glinda, you are still the best
Others are good, but you're the goodliest
We feel merry, we feel cheery just to gaze on your reflection
Only you disprove the theory that you can't improve perfection
[Glinda:]
La-la, la-la
[Ozians:]
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
Save us from the wicked
Every night our voices wail
Save us from this fear and victimhood
We believe in Glinda
With her magic, she'll prevail
She will make it end the way it should
When at last the wicked is defeated by the good
The good
Wicked is defeated by the good
Thank Goodness / I Couldn't Be Happier lyrics - Ariana Grande & Wicked Movie Cast (feat. Michelle Yeoh)
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Glinda:]
Oh, what a celebration we'll have today
[Citizens of Oz:]
Thank goodness
[Glinda:]
Let's have a celebration the "Glinda" way
[Citizens of Oz:]
Thank goodness
[Madam Morrible:]
Finally a day that's totally wicked-witch-free
[Citizens of Oz:]
We couldn't be happier, thank goodness
[Madam Morrible:]
Thank goodness for you, Glinda
And your handsome swain, Prince Fiyero, newly appointed captain of the Gale Force
Tell us, Captain, how does it feel being engaged?
[Fiyero:]
We're engaged?
[Glinda:]
Surprised?
[Fiyero:]
Yes
[Glinda:]
Good, we hoped you'd be, the Wizard and I
We couldn't be happier, right, dear?
Couldn't be happier right here
Look what we've got, a fairy-tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn't be happier, true, dear?
Couldn't be happier
And we're happy to share our ending vicariously with all of you
He couldn't look handsomer
I couldn't feel humbler
We couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true
[Madam Morrible:]
And Glinda dear, we are happy for you
As press secretary, I've striven to ensure that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism
In the face of the terrifying Wicked Witch of the West
[People in the crowd:]
I hear she has an extra eye that always remains awake
I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake
I hear some rebel animals are giving her food and shelter
I hear her soul is so unclean pure water can melt her
[Crowd:]
Melt her
Please, somebody go and melt her
[Fiyero:]
I can't just stand there grinning, pretending to go along with all this
[Glinda:]
Fiyero!
Thanks plenty, dearest
He's, um, he's gone to fetch me a refreshment
He's so thoughtful that way
That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit, the tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well, not simply, 'cause getting your dreams, it's strange, but it seems
A little, well, complicated
There's a kind of a sort of cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross you didn't know you crossed until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still, with this perfect finale, the cheers and the ballyhoo
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens when your dreams come true
[Crowd:]
We love you, Glinda, if we may be so frank
[Glinda:]
Thank goodness
[Crowd:]
For all this joy, we know who we've got to thank
Thank goodness
That means the Wizard, Glinda
[Glinda:]
And fiancé
[Crowd:]
They couldn't be goodlier
She couldn't be lovelier
We couldn't be luckier
[Glinda:]
I couldn't be happier
[Crowd:]
Thank goodness (Thank goodness)
[Glinda & crowd:]
Today!
[Crowd:]
Thank goodness for today
Thank goodness for today
No Place Like Home lyrics - Cynthia Erivo
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Elphaba:]
Why do I love this place
That's never loved me?
A place that seems to be devolving
And even wanting to?
But Oz is more than just a place
It's a promise, an idea
And I want to help make it come true
Why should a land have so much meaning
When dark times befall it?
It's only land, made of dirt and rock and loam
It's just a place that's familiar
And "home"'s just what we call it
But there's no place like home
Don't we all know
There's no place like home?
When you feel you can't fight anymore
Just tell yourself
There's no place like home
When you feel it's not worth fighting for
Compel yourself
Because there's no place like home
When you want to leave
Discouraged and resigned
That's what they want you to do
But think how you will grieve
For all you leave behind
Oz belongs to you too
Those who would take it from you
Spout a lie to sell yourself
You go their way or go
It's them we'll be defeating
If we keep on repeating
"There's no place like home"
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
If we just keep fighting for it
We will win back and restore it
There's no place like home
The Wicked Witch Of The East lyrics - Marissa Bode, Cynthia Erivo & Ethan Slater
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Nessarose:]
I want to go back to the way we were at school
That night at the Ozdust
Boq danced with me there
And it felt like he loved me then
That night, when I felt I was floating on air
I want to feel that again
Make me feel that again!
[Elphaba:]
Oh, Nessa, at last!
I'd always been unsure I could
But finally, from these powers
Something good
Finally, something good
[Boq:]
Nessa, there's something I have to—
[Nessarose:]
Look!
[Boq:]
You did this? To make her happy?
Nessa
[Nessarose:]
Yes?
[Boq:]
Uh, Nessa
Surely now I'll matter less to you
And you won't mind my leaving here tonight
[Nessarose:]
Leaving?
[Boq:]
The moment when I read
Glinda's going to be wed to Fiyero
[Nessarose:]
Glinda?
[Boq:]
Yes, Nessa, that's right
And I've got to go appeal to her
Express the way I feel to her
I lost my heart to Glinda the moment I first saw her
[Nessarose:]
Lost your heart? Well, we'll see about that
[Boq:]
Ah, my heart!
It feels like it's, like it's shrinking
[Nessarose:]
Save him, please, just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him
Don't leave me till my sorry life has ceased
Alone and loveless here
With just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me
The Wicked Witch of the East
We deserve each other
Wonderful lyrics - Jeff Goldblum, Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[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 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"
You know, we could be like a—, like a family
You know, I've 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 thing of fact or reason
The truth is just what everyone agrees on
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
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:]
Elphie, think of what we could do together
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, receive 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!
I'm Not That Girl (Reprise) lyrics - Ariana Grande
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Glinda:]
Don't wish
Don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
As Long As You're Mine lyrics - Cynthia Erivo & Jonathan Bailey
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[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:]
Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling it's up that I fell
[Elphaba & Fiyero:]
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body and make up for lost time
[Fiyero:]
Say there's no future
For us as a pair
[Elphaba & Fiyero:]
And though I may know, I don't care
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to and see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine
[Fiyero:]
What is it?
[Elphaba:]
For the first time, I feel wicked
No Good Deed lyrics - Cynthia Erivo
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Elphaba:]
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka eleka
What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply
No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed goes unpunished
Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero
One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why
No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough, so be it
So be it then
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
And since I can't succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do
Again
March Of The Witch Hunters lyrics - Wicked Movie Cast & Ethan Slater
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Citizens of Oz:]
Go and hunt her and find her and kill her
Go and hunt her and find her and kill her
Kill her!
Wickedness must be punished!
Evil effectively eliminated
Wickedness must be punished!
Kill the witch!
Melt the witch!
[Tin Man:]
And this is more than just a service to the Wizard
I have a personal score to settle with Elph—
With the witch
It's due to her I'm made of tin
Her spell made this occur
So for once, I'm glad I'm heartless
I'll be heartless killing her!
And I'm not the only one!
Tell them what she did to you
How you were just a cub
And she cub-napped you!
You see, the lion also
Has a grievance to repay
If she'd let him fight his own battles when he was young
He wouldn't be a coward today!
[Citizens of Oz:]
Kill her
Wickedness must be punished!
Brave witch hunters, I would join if I could
Because wickedness must be punished!
Punished!
Punished!
For good!
Kill her, go! Melt her, go! Kill her, go! Melt her, go!
Kill her, go! Melt her, go! Kill her, go! Melt, her, go!
Kill her, go! Melt her, go! Kill her, go! Melt her, go!
Kill her, go! Melt her, go! Kill her!
Melt her!
The Girl In The Bubble lyrics - Ariana Grande
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Glinda:]
Look
There's that beautiful girl
With the beautiful life
Such a beautiful life
Built on lies
'Cause all that's required
To live in a dream
Is endlessly closing your eyes
She spins such beautiful stories
To sing her to sleep
Full of magic and glory and love
She's the girl in the bubble
The bright shiny bubble
Blissfully floating above
Ah, but the truth has a way
Of seeping on in
Beneath the surface and sheen
And blind as you try to be
Eventually
It's hard to unsee what you've seen
And so that beautiful girl
With the beautiful life
Has a question that haunts her somehow
If she comes down from the sky
Gives the real world a try
Who in the world is she now?
And though so much of her wishes
That she could float on
And the beautiful lies never stop
For the girl in the bubble
The pink shiny bubble
It's time for her bubble to pop
For the popular girl
High in the bubble
Isn't it high time
For her bubble to pop?
For Good lyrics - Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande
(from "Wicked: For Good" soundtrack)
[Elphaba:]
I'm limited
Just look at me
Not with your eyes, with theirs
I'm limited, and just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
Here, take it
[Glinda:]
What? But you know I, I can't read this, I—
[Elphaba:]
Well, you have to learn
Because 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
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
[Elphaba:]
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But
Because I knew you
[Glinda:]
Because I knew you
[Glinda & Elphaba:]
I have been changed for good
[Elphaba:]
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
[Glinda:]
But then, I guess we know there's blame to share
[Glinda & Elphaba:]
And none of it seems to matter anymore
[Glinda (Elphaba):]
Like a comet pulled from orbit
(Like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun
(By a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder
(Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood)
Halfway through the wood
(In the wood)
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
[Glinda:]
And because I knew you
[Elphaba:]
Because I knew you
[Glinda & Elphaba:]
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
No One Mourns The Wicked lyrics - Wicked Movie Cast & Ariana Grande (feat. Andy Nyman, Courtney-Mae Briggs, Jeff Goldblum, Sharon D. Clarke & Jenna Boyd)
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Child:]
Good news! The Witch, she's dead!
Come out, come out, she's gone!
[Citizens of Oz:]
Good news
She's dead
The Witch of the West is dead
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz
Is dead
Good news
Good news
[Someone in the crowd:]
Look! It's Glinda!
[Glinda:]
Let us be glad
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
Isn't it nice to know?
That good will conquer evil?
The truth we all believe'll by and by
Outlive a lie
For you and—
[Someone in the crowd:]
No one mourns the Wicked
[Another person:]
No one cries, "They won't return"
[All:]
No one lays a lily on their grave
[Man:]
The good man scorns the Wicked
[Women:]
Through their lives, our children learn
[All:]
What we miss when we misbehave
[Glinda:]
And Goodness knows the Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows the Wicked die alone
It just shows, when you're wicked
You're left only on your own
[All:]
Yes, Goodness knows the Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows the Wicked cry alone
Nothing grows for the Wicked
They reap only what they've sown
[Child in the crowd:]
Miss Glinda
Why does Wickedness happen?
[Glinda:]
That's a good question
Are people born Wicked?
Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?
After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood
She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed Governor of Munchkinland
[Frexspar:]
I'm off to the assembly, dear
[Glinda:]
And she had a mother, as so many do
[Frexspar:]
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
[Melena:]
That's alright, it's only just one night
[Frexspar:]
But know that you're here in my heart
While I'm out of your sight
[Glinda:]
And, like every family, they had their secrets
[Lover:]
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
I've got one more night left here in town
So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another little swallow, little lady
And follow me down
[Glinda:]
And one thing led to another, as it so often does
[Melena:]
No!
[Glinda:]
But from the moment the witch was born, she was, well, different
[Midwife:]
It's coming
[Frexspar:]
Now?
[Midwife:]
The baby is coming
[Frexspar:]
Oh, and how!
[Midwife:]
I see a nose
[Frexspar:]
I see a curl
[Frexspar & Midwife:]
It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little—
[Midwife:]
Oh!
[Frexspar:]
Oh! Sweet Oz! Oh!
[Midwife:]
How can it be?
[Frexspar:]
What does it mean?
[Midwife:]
It's uncanny
[Frexspar:]
It's obscene
[Midwife & Frexspar:]
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally
[Dulcibear:]
Green
[Frexspar:]
Take it away
Take it away!
[Glinda:]
And so, it couldn't have been easy
[All:]
No one mourns the Wicked
Now, at last, she's dead and gone
Now, at last, there's joy throughout the land
And Goodness knows
[Glinda:]
Goodness knows
[All:]
We know what Goodness is
[Glinda:]
Oh, ooh
[All:]
Goodness knows the Wicked die alone
[Glinda:]
She died alone
[All:]
Woe to those (Woe to those)
Who spurn what Goodnesses
They are shown
No one mourns the Wicked
[Glinda:]
Good news
[All:]
No one mourns the Wicked
[Glinda:]
Good news
[All:]
No one mourns the Wicked
Wicked

Dear Old Shiz lyrics - Wicked Movie Cast & Shiz University Choir (feat. Ariana Grande)
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Ozian in the crowd:]
Glinda, is it true you were her friend?
[Glinda:]
Yes
I-I mean, I did know her
That is, our paths did cross
At school
[Shiz students:]
O hallowed halls and vine-draped walls
The proudliest sight there is (Sight there is)
When grey and sere our hair hath turned
We shall still revere the lessons learned
In our days at dear old Shiz (Dear old Shiz)
Our days at dear old
[Galinda:]
Old
[Galinda (Shiz students):]
Shiz (Dear old Shiz)
The Wizard And I lyrics - Cynthia Erivo (feat. Michelle Yeoh)
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Madame Morrible:]
Oh, Miss Elphaba
Many years I have waited
For a gift like yours to appear
Why, I predict the Wizard might 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 definish chance
If you work as you should
You'll be making good
Welcome to Shiz!
[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, well, 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
As we work hand in 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 alright by you
If I de-greenify you?"
And though, of course, that's not important to me
"Alright, 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 the things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it
I'd be so happy I could melt
And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team
The Wizard and I
What Is This Feeling? lyrics - Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Galinda:]
Dearest, darlingest Momsie and Popsicle
[Elphaba:]
My dear father
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
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
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
Yes
There's been some confusion for, you see, my roommate is
[Galinda:]
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe
[Elphaba:]
Blonde
[Galinda:]
What is this feeling, so sudden and new?
[Elphaba:]
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
[Galinda:]
My pulse is rushing
[Elphaba:]
My head is reeling
[Galinda:]
Yeah, well, my face is flushing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
Yes
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
[Galinda:]
For your face
[Elphaba:]
Your voice
[Galinda:]
Your clothing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Let's just say
I loathe it all
Every little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple, utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure, so strong
Though I do admit, it came on fast
Still, I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you my whole life long
[Shiz students:]
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don't think I could
She's a terror, she's a tartar, we don't mean to show a bias
But, Galinda, you're a martyr
[Galinda:]
Well, these things are sent to try us
[Shiz students:]
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you, we're all on your side
We share your loathing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
What is this feeling, so sudden and new?
[Shiz students:]
Unadulterated loathing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
[Shiz students:]
For her face, her voice, her clothing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
My pulse is rushing
[Shiz students:]
Let's just say
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
My head is reeling
[Shiz students:]
We loathe it all
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Oh, what is this feeling?
[Shiz students:]
Every little trait, however small
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Does it have a name?
[Shiz students:]
Makes our very flesh begin to crawl
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Yes
[All:]
Ah
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Loathing
[Shiz students:]
Loathing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
There's a strange exhilaration
[Shiz students:]
Loathing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
In such total detestation
[Shiz students:]
Loathing
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
It's so pure, so strong
[Shiz students:]
So strong
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
Though I do admit, it came on fast
Still, I do believe that it can last
[Galinda & Elphaba {All} (Shiz students):]
And I will be {loathing for forever}
{Loathing} truly deeply
{Loathing} you (Loathing you)
[Galinda & Elphaba:]
My whole life long
[Shiz students:]
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
[Elphaba:]
Boo!
[Galinda:]
Ah!
Something Bad lyrics - Peter Dinklage (feat. Cynthia Erivo)
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Doctor Dillamond:]
We animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong
Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent
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 only can screech
Only rumors, but still enough to give pause
To anyone with paws
Something bad is happening in Oz
[Animals:]
Something bad happening in—
[Lion:]
That's it, I'm leaving Oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye"
[Elphaba:]
Doctor Dillamond
If animals are losing the ability to speak, leaving Oz, then
Someone's got to tell the Wizard
That's why we have a Wizard
So nothing bad
[Doctor Dillamond:]
Perhaps you're right
[Doctor Dillamond & Elphaba:]
Nothing all that bad
[Doctor Dillamond:]
Nothing truly bad
Sorry! Bad
Must be catching a cold
[Elphaba:]
It couldn't happen here
In Oz
Dancing Through Life lyrics - Jonathan Bailey (feat. Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode & Cynthia Erivo)
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Fiyero:]
I see that, once again, the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me
The trouble with schools is they always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow, less shallow
But I say, why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through life, skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless for the brainless
Why think too hard when it's so soothing?
Dancing through life, no need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters
It's just life, so keep dancing through
Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraughtless when you're thoughtless
Those who don't try never look foolish
Dancing through life, mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing
When you're dancing through life
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl, give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me
You'll be happy to be there
[All:]
Dancing through life down at the Ozdust
[Fiyero:]
If only because dust is what we come to
[All:]
Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters
[Fiyero (All):]
It's just life (Ah, ah)
It's just life
So keep dancing through
[Boq:]
Galinda
Um, I'll hope you'll save a dance for me tonight
I'll be right there, waiting all night
[Galinda:]
That's so kind
But you know what would be even kinder?
See that tragically beautiful girl?
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she, gee!
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were
To go invite her
[Boq:]
Well
Maybe I could invite her
[Galinda:]
Oh, Biq, really?
You would do that for me?
[Boq:]
I would do anything for you
[Fiyero:]
You're good!
[Galinda:]
I don't know what you mean
I love helping others
Oh, and I happen to be free tonight, after all
Now that we've met one another
[Fiyero & Galinda:]
It's clear we deserve each other
[Galinda:]
You're perfect
[Fiyero:]
You're perfect
[Fiyero & Galinda:]
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life
[Nessarose:]
You'll never guess what just happened to me
That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked me out
He said he was too shy to ask me out first, but then, Galinda emboldened him
[Elphaba:]
Wait, Galinda?
[Nessarose:]
Don't
Don't you dare say another word against her
I'm about to have the happiest night of my life
Thanks to Galinda
Finally, for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba, see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other, me and Boq
Please, Elphaba, try to understand
[Elphaba:]
I do
Galinda, um
Nessa and I were talking about you just now and—
[Galinda:]
Oh, well, we were just talking about you
How you should join us tonight at the Ozdust
And don't tell me you have nothing to wear
'Cause you could wear this
I mean, it goes with everything you own
It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you, you're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here, out of the goodness of my heart
[Boq:]
Listen, Nessa?
[Nessarose:]
Yes?
[Boq:]
Uh, Nessa
I've got something to confess
A reason why, well
Why I asked you here tonight
And I know it isn't fair
[Nessarose:]
Boq, I know why
[Boq:]
You do?
[Nessarose:]
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well, isn't that right?
[Boq:]
No! No, no, no, I don't feel sorry for you
You're great
I asked you because
Because
Because you are so beautiful
[Nessarose:]
Boq, I think you're wonderful
And we deserve each other
Don't you see this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Boq?
[Boq:]
You know what?
Let's dance
[Nessarose:]
What?
[Boq:]
Let's dance
[All:]
Dancing through life here at the Ozdust
If only because dust is what we come to
And here's the strange thing, your life could end up changing
While you're dancing through
Popular lyrics - Ariana Grande
(from "Wicked" soundtrack)
[Galinda:]
Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project
[Elphaba:]
Oh, you really don't have to do that
[Galinda:]
I know!
That's what makes me so nice
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, right? Who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover, I simply have to take over
I know, I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You will be
Popular
You're gonna be popular
I'll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair
Everything that really counts to be
Popular
I'll help you be popular
You'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to become a pal
A sister and adviser, there's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to
Popular
I know about popular
And with an assist from me to be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who-you-were
Well, are!
There's nothing that can stop you from becoming populer... —lar!
La-la, la-la
We're gonna make you popular
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf to think of
Celebrated heads of state
Or especially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh
They were
[Elphaba:]
Popular
[Galinda:]
Right!
It's all about popular
It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very, very popular like me, me
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it, your newfound popularity
Woo!
La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la, ooh
You'll be popular
Just not quite as popular as me
