One Short Day (feat. Cynthia Erivo, Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel)

One short day
If you only have, if you only have one short day

One short day in the Emerald City
One short day in the Emerald City
One short day, one short day, one short day, one short day
In the Emerald City
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

Presenting the absolute factual story of our wonderful Wizard of Oz
Starring the Emerald City players

Long, long ago, long before we can recall
There lived here in Oz the magical wise ones

Ah, the magical wise ones

The wisest of them all

We will not live forever
That, I can foresee

So let us set all of our magic

In a strange and secret language

In a book

The Grimmerie

The Grimmerie

[Presenter]
But time ticked ever onward day by day

Oh

And all those who could read it passed away

Oh

Till one day, no one could

But the wise ones left a prophecy

In Oz's darkest hour
Though we cannot say when

There will come one with the power
To read the Grimmerie again

And Oz, which had been sad and blah

Once more will sing a joyous

Oh

Look!
A man in a balloon arriving from the sky
Maybe he is here to fulfill the prophecy
But can he read the Grimmerie?

This man who comes out of the blue
Is he the prophecy?

There's one way we'll know if it's true

Fetch the Grimmerie (the Grimmerie)

Omaha
Omaha

He can read it
He must be
A Wizard

The prophecy fulfilled

What merriness he'll bring

Now every Ozian raise a voice and sing
And sing, and sing

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?
Ooh, isn't he wonderful?
Our wonderful Wizard

One short day (who's the mage whose major)
In the Emerald City (itinerary is making all Oz merrier?)
One short day (who's the sage who sagely)
To have a lifetime of fun (sailed in to save our posteriors?)

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
