Текст песни One Short Day (from Wicked) - The New Musical Cast

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
EV'RY 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 ALIFETIME 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!
They are in front of a Broadway style marquee that reads "WIZ-O-MANIA."
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
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
They look at each other, realizing that what Glinda has just said is true
SHARING ONE WONDERFUL
ONE SHORT
A Guard pops his head out of the door to the Wizard′s Palace --
The Wizard will see you now!
DAY!
