One Short Day (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

Come with me To the Emerald City

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

Every way

That you look in the city

There's something exquisite

You'll want to visit

Before the day's through

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees

Dress salons

And libraries

Palaces

Museums

A hundred strong:

There are wonders like I've never seen

It's all grand

And it's all green

I think we've found the place where we belong

I wanna be

In this hoi polloi

So I'll be back for good someday

To make my life and make my way

But for today we'll wander and enjoy:

One short day

In the Emerald City

One short day

To have a lifetime of fun

One short day

And we're warning the city

Now that we're in here

You'll know we've been here

Before we are done

Elphie come on we'll be late for Wizomania

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 woo woo

Wizn't he wonderful

(Our wonderful Wizard )

One short day

In the Emerald City

One short day

To have a lifetime of fun

What a way

To be seeing the city:

Where so many roam to

We'll call it home too

And then just like now

We can say:

We're just two friends

Two good friends

Two best friends

Sharing one wonderful

One short:

The Wizard will see you now

Day
