Karaoké Wonderful Wicked (comédie musicale)

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?

I got carried away

And not just by balloon

"Wonderful" they called me "Wonderful"

So I said "Wonderful" if you insist

I will be "Wonderful" and they said "Wonderful"

Believe me, it's hard to resist

'Cos it feels wonderful they think I'm wonderful

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"

See

I never had a family of my own

So, I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything

So you lied to them

Elphaba, where I'm from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true

We call it "history" 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

They call me "Wonderful" so I am wonderful

In fact it's so much who I am it's part of my name

And with my help you can be the same

At long, long last receive your due long overdue

Elphaba the most celebrated are the rehabilitated

There'll be such a whoop-de-doo a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with you

Wonderful they'll call you wonderful

It does sound wonderful trust me, it's fun

When you are wonderful

When you are wonderful it would be wonderful it would be wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful

Wonderful, wonderful one

Two and

Ha ha
