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 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 ALIFETIME OF FUN
ONE SHORT DAY...
[ELPHABA AND GLINDA]
AND WE´RE WARNING THE CITY...
NOW THAT WE´RE IN HERE
YOU´LL KNOW WE´VE BEEN HERE
[ALL]
BEFORE WE ARE DONE!
They are in front of a Broadway style marquee that reads "WIZ-O-MANIA."....
[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 POSTERIERS?
WHOSE ENTHUSE FOR HOT AIR BALLOONING
HAS ALL OF OZ HONEYMOONING?
WOO -- OO -- OO...
WIZ-N´T HE WONDERFUL?
(OUR WONDERFUL WIZARD!)
The Wiz-o-maniacs REPEAT the chorus as Elphaba, Glinda and the rest of the audience sing in counterpoint
THEN...
[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:
WE´RE JUST TWO FRIENDS...
[ELPHABA]
TWO GOOD FRIENDS...
[GLINDA]
TWO BEST FRIENDS...
They look at each other, realizing that what Glinda has just said is true.
[ALL]
SHARING ONE WONDERFUL
ONE SHORT...
A Guard pops his head out of the door to the Wizard´s Palace --
[GUARD]
The Wizard will see you now!
[ALL]
DAY!
ONE SHORT DAY
IN THE EMERALD CITY...
[GLINDA]
I´ve always wanted to see the Emerald City.
