Wicked Musical Song – Dear Old Shiz:
This short song marks the transition back from the present into the past, as Glinda starts to reminisce about her friendship with Elphaba. The pair met while at Shiz University, and all the Ozians on stage sing about the fondness they have for their own time at the school.
“Dear Old Shiz” also includes irony that’s only apparent on stage. Elphaba first appears during this song, and the other students recoil from her green skin the second she turns up at school. Everyone around her might be singing about “Dear Old Shiz,” but it wasn’t so “dear” to her.
Lyrics:
PERSON IN CROWD:
(spoken) Glinda! Is it true – were you her friend?!
GLINDA:
(spoken) Well – it depends on what you mean by “friend.” I did
know her. That is, our paths did cross. At school:
STUDENTS:
O hallowed halls and vine-draped walls
The proudliest sight there is
(Male: Sight there is)
When grey and sere our hair hath turned
We shall still revere the lessons learned
(Females)In our days at dear old Shiz
(Males: dear old Shiz)
Our days at dear old
GALINDA:
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ol
STUDENTS AND GALINDA:
Dear old Shiz-zzzz
