Wizard:  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
         'CAUSE IT FEELS WONDERFUL
         THEY THINK I'M WONDERFUL
         HEY LOOK WHO'S WONDERFUL, THIS CORNFED HICK
         WHO SAID, "IT MIGHT BE KEEN
         TO BUILD A TOWN OF GREEN
         AND A WONDERFUL ROAD OF YELLOW BRICK"
        You see, I never had a family of my own, so I
        guess I just wanted to give the citizens of
        Oz ... everything.
Elphaba: So you lied to them.
Wizard: Elphaba, where I come 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
         AND SO WE ACT AS IF 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 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
Elphaba: IT DOES SOUND WONDERFUL
Wizard:  TRUST ME IT'S FUN!
Both:    WHEN YOU ARE WONDERFUL
         IT WILL BE WONDERFUL
         WONDERFUL WONDERFUL
Wizard:  ONE! TWO! AND ...
