Wicked lyrics - One Short Day (duet with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth)

album: Wicked (2003 Original Broadway Cast Recording)
genre: Musical

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!
