Paroles de What Is This Feeling

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
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?



ELPHABAI 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



BOTHLet'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 sent to try us!



STUDENTS

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:



GALINDA AND ELPHABA STUDENTS

What is this feeling Loathing

So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing

I felt the moment For her face, her voice

I laid eyes on you Her clothing

My pulse is rushing Let's just say:

My head is reeling We loathe it all!

Oh, what is this feeling? Ev'ry little trait

Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh

Yes: Begin to crawl:.

Ahhh: Ahhh:



ALL

Loathing!



GALINDA AND ELPHABA ALL

There's a strange exhilaration Loathing

In such total detestation Loathing

So pure, so strong Loathing



STUDENTS

So strong!



GALINDA AND ELPHABA

Though I do admit it came on fast

Still I do believe that it can last ALL

And I will be loathing Loathing

For forever loathing Loathing

Truly deeply loathing Loathing you

My whole Loathing

Life long! Unadulterated loathing



ELPHABA

Boo!



GALINDA

Ah!
