Wicked

One Short Day

[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

[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]
(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)
(Our posteriors)
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 one wonderful
One short

[Guard]
(spoken) The Wizard will see you now!

[All]
Day!
