One Short Day Lyrics

ELPHABA

(spoken) Come with me. To the Emerald City.



TOURISTS

One short day

In the Emerald City



GLINDA

(spoken) Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City:



TOURISTS

One short day

In the Emerald City



One short day

In the Emerald City

One short day

Full of so much to do

Ev'ry way

That you look in the city

There's something exquisite

You'll want to visit

Before the day's through



ELPHABA

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees



GLINDA

Dress salons



ELPHABA

And libraries



GLINDAPalaces!



ELPHABA

Museums!



BOTHA hundred strong:

There are wonders like I've never seen



GLINDA

It's all grand



ELPHABA

And it's all green!



BOTH

I think we've found the place where we belong!

I wanna be

In this hoi polloi



ELPHABA

So I'll be back for good someday



BOTH

To make my life and make my way

But for today, we'll wander and enjoy:



ALL

One short day

In the Emerald City

One short day

To have a lifetime of fun

One short day



ELPHABA AND GLINDA

And we're warning the city

Now that we're in here

You'll know we've been here



ALL

Before we are done!



GLINDA

(spoken) Elphie - come on - we'll be late for Wizomania!



WIZOMANIA CHORUS

Who's the mage

Whose major itinerary

Is making all Oz merrier?

Who's the sage

Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?

Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning

Has all of Oz honeymooning?

Woo - oo -oo

Wizn't he wonderful?

(Our wonderful Wizard!)



AUDIENCE WIZOMANIA CHORUS

One short day Who's the mage

In the Emerald City Whose major itinerary

One short day Is making all Oz merrier

To have a lifetime Whose the sage who

Of fun Sagely sailed in to save

What a way Our posteriors

To be seeing the city:



ELPHABA AND GLINDA

Where so many roam to

We'll call it home, too

And then, just like now

We can say:

We're just two friends



ELPHABA

Two good friends



GLINDA

Two best friends

ALL

Sharing one wonderful

One short:



GUARD

(spoken) The Wizard will see you now!



ALL

Day!
