One Short Day

(feat. Kristin Chenoweth)

[TOURISTS]ONE SHORT DAY

IN THE EMERALD CITY...

[GLINDA]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 THIS 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 ...

[ALL]

ONE SHORT DAY

IN THE EMERALD CITY

ONE SHORT DAY

TO HAVE ALIFETIME 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!

They are in front of a Broadway style marquee that reads "WIZ-O-MANIA."....

[WIZOMANIA CHORUS]WHO'S THE MAGE

WHOSE MAJOR ITINERARY

IS MAKING ALL OZ MERRIER?

WHO'S THE SAGE

WHO SAGELY SAILED IN TO SAVE

OUR POSTERIERS?

WHOSE ENTHUSE FOR HOT AIR BALLOONING

HAS ALL OF OZ HONEYMOONING?

WOO -- OO -- OO ...

WIZ-N'T HE WONDERFUL?

(OUR WONDERFUL WIZARD!)

The Wiz-o-maniacs REPEAT the chorus as Elphaba, Glinda and the rest of the audience sing in counterpoint

THEN...

[ALL]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 ...

They look at each other, realizing that what Glinda has just said is true.

[ALL]SHARING ONE WONDERFUL

ONE SHORT ...

A Guard pops his head out of the door to the Wizard's Palace --

[GUARD]The Wizard will see you now!

[ALL]DAY!
