What Is This Feeling

[Galinda:]
Dearest darlingest momsie and popsicle:

[Elphaba:]
My dear father:

[Both:]
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at shiz:

[Elphaba:]
But of course, I'll care for nessa:

[Galinda:]
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 roommate 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 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, so 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 just want to tell you:
We're all on your side!
We share your;

[Both:]
What is this feeling
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
Oh, what is this feeling?
Does it have a name?
Yes
Ahhh

[Students (background):]
Loathing unadulterated loathing
For her face, her voice, her clothing
Let's just say - we loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait however small
Makes our very flesh being to crawl
Ahhh!

[All:]
