Idina Menzel - One Short Day lyrics

[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!
