Lyrics

“Won der ful.” They called me “Won

der ful.” So I said, “Won der ful… if you in sist…

I will be won der ful,” and they said, “Won der ful…”

Be lieve me, it’s hard to re sist,

’cause it

feels won der ful!

They think I’m won der ful!

Hey, look who’s won der ful: this corn fed hick,

who said, “It might be keen to build a town of green… and a won der ful road of yel low brick!”

Won der ful, they’ll call you “Won der ful.” Does it sound won der ful?

Trust me, it’s fun!

When you are won der ful, won’t it be won der ful?

When you’re the won der ful one!

Wonderful by Stephen Schwartz — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Wonderful by Stephen Schwartz in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
