(feat. Kristin Chenoweth)

[GLINDA]
Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical...

[ELPHABA]
My dear Father...

[BOTH]
THERE'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 ...

[GLINDA]
UNUSUALLY AND EXCEEDINGLY PECULIAR
AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ...

[ELPHABA]
BLONDE.

[GLINDA]
WHAT IS THIS FEELING
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?

[ELPHABA]
I FELT THE MOMENT
I LAID EYES ON YOU ...

[GLINDA]
MY PULSE IS RUSHING ...

[ELPHABA]
MY HEAD IS REELING ...

[GLINDA]
MY FACE IS FLUSHING ...

[BOTH]
WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
FERVID AS A FLAME
DOES IT HAVE A NAME?
YES!...
LOATHING
UNADULTERATED LOATHING ...

[GLINDA]
FOR YOUR FACE...

[ELPHABA]
YOUR VOICE ...

[GLINDA]
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 GLINDA, 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 GLINDA YOU'RE A MARTYR!

[GLINDA]
WELL ... THESE THINGS ARE SENT TO TRY US!

[STUDENTS]
POOR GLINDA, FORCED TO RESIDE
WITH SOMEONE SO DISGUSTICIFIED
WE JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ...
WE'RE ALL ON YOUR SIDE!
WE SHARE YOUR ...

[GLINDA AND ELPHABA sing simultaneously with students (see their part below)]
WHAT IS THIS FEELING
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?
I FELT THE MOMENT

MY PULSE IS RUSHING
MY HEAD IS REELING
OH, WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

DOES IT HAVE A NAME?

YES...

LOATHING
UNADULTERATED LOATHING
FOR HER FACE, HER VOICE

EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT
HOWEVER SMALL

MAKES OUR VERY FLESH
BEGIN TO CRAWL..

[ALL:]
AHHH...

[GLINDA AND ELPHABA:]
[Here students sing "Loathing" in counter point a number of times]
THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION
IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
SO PURE, SO STRONG!

[STUDENTS]
SO STRONG!

[GLINDA AND ELPHABA]
[Students sing back-up "loathing"]
