One Short Day Lyrics

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

That you'll want to visit 

before the days through



Elphaba:

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees



Glinda:

Dress salons



Elphaba: 

And libraries



Glinda:

Palaces



Elphaba: 

Museums



Both:

A 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



Tourists:

One short day

In the Emerald City

One short day

To have a lifetime of fun

One short day



Glinda and Elphaba:

And were 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 lifetimeWhose 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,

Were 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!
