What is This Feeling? (Loathing)

Wicked

Keefe: Dearest, darlingest momsie and Popsicle...

Tam: My dear sister...

Both: There's been some confusion over rooming here at school

Tam: But of course I'll care for your pets.

Keefe: But of course I'll rise above it!

Both: For I know that's how you'd want me to respond...yes.

Both: There's been some confusion for you see my roommate is...

Keefe: Unusually and extremely peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe...

Tam:...Blond

Keefe: What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

Tam: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you.

Keefe: My pulse is rushing!

Tam: My head is reeling!

Keefe: My face is flushing!

Both: What is this feeling?

Both: Fervid as a flame, does it have a name? Yes...!

Both: Loathing! Unadulterated loathing!

Keefe: For your face!

Tam: Your voice!

Keefe: Your clothing!

Both: Lets just say...

Both: I loath it all!

Both: Every 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!

Both: 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!

Keefe's Friends: Dear Keefe Sencen, you are just too good! How do you stand it, I don't think I could. He's a terror, he's a tartar, we don't mean to show a bias but Keefe Sencen, you're a martyr!

Keefe: Well, these things are sent to try us!

Keefe's friends: Poor Keefe Sencen, forced to reside with someone so disgusticified. We just want to tell you, we're all on your side!

Keefe's friends: (We share your loathing, unadulterated loathing!)

Both: What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

Keefe's Friends: (For her face, her voice, her clothing)

Both: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing, my head is reeling.

Keefe's Friends: (Let's just say-)we loathe it all!

Both: Oh, what is this feeling?!

Keefe's Friends: Every little trait, however small,

Both: Does it have a name?

Keefe's friends: Makes our very flesh begin to crawl...

Both: Yes...

All: Ahhhhh... loathing!

Both: There's a strange exhilaration, in such total detestation, it's so pure, so strong! 

Keefe's Friends: (So strong!)

Both: Though I do admit, it came on fast, still I do believe that it can last! And I will be loathing for forever, loathing, truly deeply loathing you...

Both: My whole life long!

Tam: Boo!

Keefe: Ah!
