One short day Songtext

von Wicked

Tourists:
One short day
In the Emerald city...
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 this city
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through!

Elphaba:
There are buildings tall as quoywood 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 poloi

Elphaba:
So I'll be back for good someday

Glinda:
To make my life an make my way

Both:
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!

Wizomania Chorus:
Who's the mage
Whose major itinary
Is makong all Oz merrier?
Who's the sage
Who sagely sailed in to save
Our posteriers?
Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning
Hass all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo-ooo-ooo
Wiz-n't he wonderful?
Our wonderful wizard!
Who's the mage
Whose major itinary
Is makong all Oz merrier?
Who's the sage
Who sagely sailed in to save
Our posteriers?

Audience: (at same time)
One short day
In the Emerald city
One short day
To have a lifetime of fun
What a way 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 a wonderful
One short day!
