Wonderful

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

Believe me it's hard to resist

'Cause it feels wonderful

They think he's 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

You know we could be like a like a family

You know I've never really had a family

Lucky you

That's why I've wanted to give the citizens of Oz everything

So you lied to them

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

They call him Wonderful

So I am wonderful

He is so wonderful it's part of his name

And with our help you can be the same

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

Dreams the way we planned 'em

If we work in tandem

There's no fight we cannot win

At long long last receive your due

Long overdue

Elphaba

A celebration throughout Oz

That's all to do with you

Wonderful

They'll call you Wonderful

Come and be wonderful

Trust me it's fun

We will be wonderful

You'll make me wonderful

Wonderful wonderful
