Lyric
Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical
My dear Father
There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz
But of course, I'll care for Nessa
But of course, I'll rise above it
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
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe
Blonde!
♪
What is this feeling?
So sudden and new?
I felt it the moment
I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
My face is flushing
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
Yes
♪
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing
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 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!
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!
Well, these things are sent 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 loathing
What is this feeling
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?
(Every little trait however small)
Does it have a name? (Makes our very flesh)
Yes: (Begin to crawl)
Ahhh (Ahhh)
Loathing!
(Loathing!)
There's a strange exhilaration (Loathing)
In such total detestation (Loathing)
It's so pure and so strong
(So strong)
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing (Loathing)
For forever loathing (Loathing)
Truly deeply loathing you (Loathing you)
My whole life long!
(Loathing, unadulterated loathing)
Boo!
Aahh!
