One Short Day (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

Come with me to the Emerald City

One short day in the Emerald City

Oh, I've always wanted to see the Emerald City

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day, full of so much to do

Every way that you look in the city

There's something exquisite

You'll want to visit

Before the day's through

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees

Dress salons

Libraries

Palaces

Museums

A hundred strong

There are wonders like I've never seen

It's all grand

And it's all green!

I think we've found the place where we belong!

I wanna be in this hoi polloi

So I'll be back for good someday

To make my life and make my way

But for today, we'll wander and enjoy

One short day in the Emerald City

One short day to have a lifetime of fun

One short day

And we're warning the city

Now that we're in here

You'll know we've been here

Before we are done

Elphie, come on, we'll be late for Wizomania

Who's the mage

Whose major itinerary

Is making all Oz merrier?

Who's the sage

Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?

Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning

Has all of Oz honeymooning?

Ooh

Wizn't he wonderful?

Our wonderful Wizard

One short day in the Emerald City (Who's the mage whose major itinerary is making all Oz merrier?)

One short day to have a lifetime of fun (Who's the sage who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?)

What a way to be seeing the city

Where so many roam to

We'll call it home, too

And then, just like now, we can say

We're just two friends

Two good friends

Two best friends

Sharing one wonderful

One short

The Wizard will see you now

Day
