ELPHABA
Come with me. To the Emerald City.

TOURISTS
One short day
In the Emerald City

GLINDA
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 day's through

ELPHABA
There are buildings as 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

BOTH
To make my life and make my way
But for today, we'll wander and enjoy:

ALL
One short day
In the Emerald City
One short day
To have a lifetime 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!

GLINDA
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's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?
Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Woo - oo -oo
Wizn't he wonderful?
(Our wonderful Wizard!)

AUDIENCE
One short day (Who's the mage)
In the Emerald City (Whose major itinerary)
One short day (Is making all Oz merrier)
To have a lifetime (Whose the sage who)
Of fun (Sagely sailed in to save)
What a way
To be seeing the city: (Our posteriors)

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

ALL
Sharing one wonderful
One short:

GUARD
The Wizard will see you now!

ALL
Day!
