One Short Day Lyrics

ENSEMBLE
One short day
in 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,
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 a lifetime of fun,
One short day,

GLINDA & ELPHABA
And we're warning the city,
Now that we're in here,
you'll know we've been here--

ALL
Before we are done!

One short day
in the Emerald City,
One short day
to have a lifetime of fun,
What a way
to be seen in the city...

GLINDA & ELPHABA
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...

ENSEMBLE
Sharing one wonderful
one short day!
