Wicked (Musical) "One Short Day" lyrics

One Short Day

Elphaba:(spoken) Come with me, to the Emerald City.

Tourists:One short dayIn the Emerald City

Glinda:(spoken) Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City!

Tourists:One short dayIn the Emerald City

One short dayIn the Emerald CityOne short dayFull of so much to doEvery wayThat you look in the cityThere's something exquisiteYou'll want to visitBefore the day's through

Elphaba:There are buildings as tallAs Quoxwood trees

Glinda:Dress salons

Elphaba:And libraries

Glinda:Palaces!

Elphaba:Museums!

Both:A hundred strongThere 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 placeWhere we belongI wanna beIn this hoi polloi

Elphaba:So I'll be back for good someday

Both:To make my life and make my wayBut for today, we'll wander and enjoy

All:One short dayIn the Emerald CityOne short dayTo have a lifetime of funOne short day

Both:And we're warning the cityNow that we're in hereYou'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 mageWhose major itineraryIs making all Oz merrier?Who's the sageWho's sagely sailed in to save our posteriorsWhose enthuse for hot air ballooningHas all of Oz honeymooningWoo - oo - ooIsn'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 wayTo be seeing the city

Both:Where so many roam toWe'll call it home, tooAnd then, just like nowWe can sayWe're just two friends

Elphaba:Two good friends

Glinda:Two best friends

All:Sharing one wonderfulOne short

Guard:(spoken) The Wizard will see you now!

All:Day!
