One Short Day
Elphaba:
Come with me. To the Emerald City.
Tourists:
One short day
In the Emerald City
Glinda:
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
Every 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
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
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: 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
