Wonderful - Jeff Goldblum/Ariana Grande/Cynthia Erivo
Lyrics by:Stephen Schwartz
Composed by:Stephen Schwartz
Produced by:Stephen Schwartz/Stephen Oremus/Greg Wells
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
