Wicked - One Short Day Lyrics

(duet with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth)

Elphaba: [Spoken]
Come with me, to the Emerald City.

Tourists:
One short day
In the Emerald city

Glinda: [Spoken]
Oh, 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 the city,
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the days through.

Elphaba:
There are buildings
As tall as quoxwood trees!

Glinda:
Dress salons.

Elphaba:
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 hoy palloy.

Elphaba:
So I'll be back for good someday!

Galinda:
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--

Glinda and Elphaba:
And were warning the city:
Now that we're in here
You'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 mage
Whose major itinerary
Is making all Oz merrier?
Who's the sage
Who sagely sailed in
To save our posteriors?
Who's enthuse for hot air ballooning--
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo, ooh, ooh!
Wizn't he wonderful?
Our wonderful Wizard!

Elphaba and Galinda: Wizomania Chorus:
One short day Who's the mage who's major
In the Emerald City. Major itinerary is making all Oz merrier?
One short day Who's the sage
To have a lifetime of fun. Who sagely sailed in to save our posteriors

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,
Were just two friends.

Elphaba:
Two good friends.

Glinda:
Two best friends.

All:
Sharing one wonderful
One short

Guard: [Spoken]
The wizard will see you now!

All:
Day!
