GALINDA
(--spoken--) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical:
ELPHABA
(--spoken--) My dear Father:
BOTHThere's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:
ELPHABA
But of course, I'll care for Nessa:
GLINDA
But of course, I'll rise above it:
BOTH
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond
Yes, there's been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is:
GALINDA
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:
ELPHABA
Blonde.
GALINDA
What is this feeling?
So sudden and new?
ELPHABA
I felt it the moment
I laid eyes on you:
GALINDA
My pulse is rushing:
ELPHABA
My head is reeling:
GALINDA
My face is flushing:
BOTH
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!:Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
GALINDA
For your face
ELPHABA
Your voice
GALINDA
Your clothing
BOTH
Let's just say - I loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!
STUDENTS
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a Tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you're a martyr!
GALINDA
Well: these things are ment to try us!

Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We all just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your:

So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
