Lyrics: One Short Day

[Elphaba:] Come with me.
[Glinda:] Where?
[Elphaba:] To the Emerald City.
[Glinda:] Really?
[Ozians] One short day, in the emerald city...
[Glinda:] I’ve always wanted to see the emerald city!
[Ozians:] One short day, in the emerald city!
One short day, in the emerald city
One short day, full of so much to do
Ever way that you look at the city
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through
[Elphaba:]
There are buildings 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!
[Ozians:] One short day, in the emerald city
One short day to have a lifetime of fun
One short day...
[Both:] And we're warning the city
Now that we're in here
You'll know we've been here
Before we are done!
[Glinda:] All the hustle and bustle! It's all so Ozmopolitan! Elphie... Elphie? C'mon we'll be late for Wizomania.
[Elphaba:] I want to remember this moment, always. Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring, for the first time, I’m somewhere that I belong.
[Glinda:] You look positively, emerald.

(The stage lights dim and Wizomania (The Musical) begins.)

[Wizomania Chorus:]
Who's the mage
Who's major itinerary is
Making all Oz merrier
Who's the sage
Who sagely
Sailed in to save our posteriors?
Who's enthuse about air ballooning
Has all of us honeymooning?
Oooooo
Isn't he wonderful?
Our wonderful wizard?
[Both:] One short day in the emerald city
[Chorus:] Who's the mage who's major itinerary is making all Oz merrier
[Both:] One short day to have a lifetime of fun
[Chorus:] Who's the sage who sagely sailed into save our posteriors?
[All:] What a way to be seeing the city!
[Both:] Where so many roam to...
We'll call it home to
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...
[Ozian official:] The wizard will see you now!
[All:] Day!!!
