One Short Day [Original Broadway Cast Recording]

Come with me to the Emerald City

One short day
In the Emerald City

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 this city
There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through!

There are buildings tall as quoxwood trees

Dress salons

And 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!

Elfie, 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 sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?
Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo
Wiz-n't he wonderful? (Our wonderful wizard!)

One short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
To have a lifetime of fun

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!
