Michelle Federer - The Wicked Witch of the East lyrics

[NESSAROSE] (Spoken) Elphaba, shut up! First of all I can't harbor a fugitive, I am an unelected official And why should I help you? You fly Around Oz trying to rescue Animals you've never even met And not once have you ever thought to use your powers to rescue me! All of my life, I've depended on you (sung) How do you think that feels? All of my life, I've depended on you And this hideous chair with wheels Scrounging for scraps of pity to pick up And longing to kick up my heels [ELPHABA] (Spoken) Nessa, there isn't a spell for everything The power is mysterious, it not like cobbling up a pair of- wait Ambulahn Dare Pahto Pahpoot Ambulahn Dasca Caldapess Lahfenahto Lahfenahtum Pede Pede Caldapess Ambulahn Dare Pahto Pahpoot Lahfenahto Lahfenahtum Pede Pede Caldapess [NESSA] (as Elphaba chants) What are you doing? What does that mean? Oh! My shoes! They feel like they're on fire! What have you done to my shoes? (Nessa attempts so stand, then falls down) No! No, don't help me (She tries again and successfully stands) [ELPHABA] Oh Nessa, at last! (Sung)I've done what long ago I should And finally from these powers something good Finally, something good [NESSAROSE] (Spoken) Boq! Boq, come quickly! [BOQ] (Spoken) You did this for her? [NESSAROSE] (Spoken) For both of us! [BOQ] (Spoken) Oh Nessa... this changes everything [NESSAROSE] (spoken) I know [BOQ] (Spoken) Nessa [NESSAROSE] (Spoken)Yes? [BOQ] (Sung)Oh, Nessa Surely now I'll matter less to you You won't mind my leaving here tonight [NESSAROSE] (spoken)Leaving? [BOQ] (Sung)Yes That ball that's being staged Announcing Glinda is engaged To Fiyero [NESSAROSE] (Spoken)Glinda? [BOQ] (Sung)Yes Nessa, that's right I've got to go appeal to her Express the way I feel for her (Spoken) Nessa, I lost my heart to Glinda from the moment I first saw her. You know that [NESSAROSE] (Spoken)Lost your heart? (Sung)Well we'll see about that [ELPHABA] (Spoken) Nessa, let him go [NESSAROSE] (Sung)Did you think I'd let you leave me here flat?! [BOQ] (spoken) Don't come any closer! [NESSAROSE] (Sung)You're going to lose your heart to me, I tell you! If I have, I have to... magic spell you Ah... Tum... Core... Tum... Ah... Tum... Tah... Tayk– [ELPHABA (as Nessa chants)] Nessa, no, it's dangerous... [BOQ] What's she doing? [ELPHABA] You're pronouncing the words all wrong... [BOQ] I'm warning you! Don't try to stop me! Oh! [ELPHABA] Oh no... NESSA! [NESSA] (stops chanting) Boq, what is it? [BOQ] My heart... it feels... it feels like it's shrinking! [NESSA] Oh, Elphaba, do something! [ELPHABA] I can't. You can't reverse a spell once it's been cast [NESSA] (spoken) This is all your fault! If you had not shown me that horrenible book [ELPHABA] (Spoken) I've got to find another spell. It's the only thing that might work [NESSAROSE] (sung)Save him please, just save him My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him Do not leave me till my sorry life has ceased [ELPHABA] (Begins chanting in melody) [NESSAROSE] (Sung)Alone and loveless here Just the girl in the mirror Just her and me, Wicked Witch of the East! We deserve each other
