One Short Day Lyrics - Singles - Wicked

ELPHABA 

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

TOURISTS 

Right this way 

to 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 

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 

GLINDA 

To make my life and 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! 

GLINDA 

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

WIZOMANIA CHORUS 

Who's the mage 

Whose major 

Itinerary is making all of 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 (Who's 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!
