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 forsee
So let us set down all our magic
In a strange and secret language
In a book
The Grimmerie!
The Grimmerie!
But time ticked ever onward day by day
And all those who could read it passed away
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
Ah!
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)
He can read it, he must be a wizard!
The prophecy fulfilled
What merryness 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 in the Emerald City (Who's the mage whose major itinerary is making all Oz merrier?)
One short day to have a lifetime of fun (Who's the sage who sagely 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!
