Wonderful

[Intro patter — bouncing, playful]
Oh, Glinda, my dear, just look what you see!
A man who is wonderful, yes, wonderfully me!
They whisper, “So wonderful, oh, so wonderful!”
And I say, why not be wonderful—so wonderfully full?

[Verse 1 — rapid patter, self-justifying]
They call me wonderful, wonderfully bright,
Oh yes, wonderful, it feels so right!
I said I’ll be wonderful, wonderfully true,
Because wonderful things are what wonderful people do!

Yes, they call me wonderful, wonderful, grand,
I’ll be wonderful, wonderfully planned!
If the world wants wonderful, if the world wants it all,
Then I’ll be wonderful—wonderful, standing tall!

[Verse 2 — playful bounce, repeating words]
Oh, it’s wonderful, wonderfully fun,
I’m wonderfully clever, wonderfully done!
The city is wonderful, the people are too,
So I’ll be wonderful—wonderful, through and through!

Wonderful here, wonderful there,
Wonderful faces everywhere!
And I’ll be wonderful, wonderfully bold,
Yes, wonderful stories waiting to be told!

[Bridge — slower, more lyrical, dramatic]
I didn’t ask for wonderful, I didn’t seek fame,
But if wonderful calls, I’ll answer its name.
And isn’t it wonderful, how things just align,
When wonderful magic makes everything fine?

[Duet — Glinda joins, harmonizing and bouncing]
GLINDA (sung):
It’s wonderful, yes, wonderfully bright,
A wonderful vision, a wonderful light!

WIZARD (sung, playful):
It’s wonderful, Glinda, oh, so wonderfully true!
Every wonderful word brings wonderful you!

BOTH (sung, building to finale):
Wonderful here, wonderful there,
Wonderful faces everywhere!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderfully bold,
Wonderful stories waiting to be told!

[Final Refrain — triumphant, maximal repetition]
It’s wonderful! Wonderful!
Yes, wonderfully wonderful!
Oh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderfully true!
It’s wonderful! Wonderful!
Yes, wonderfully wonderful!
Oh, wonderful Oz, and wonderful you!

It’s wonderful! Wonderful!
So wonderfully wonderful!
It’s wonderful! Wonderful!
Yes, wonderfully wonderful!

[Spoken finale, soft, delighted]
See, Glinda? Isn’t it just… wonderful?
