One Short Day

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, one short, one short, 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

Ev'ry way that you look in the 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 likе I've never seen

It's all grand

And it's all green

I think wе'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

Oh-oh-oh

The magical wise ones

The wisest of them all

They 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 Gimmerie

The Gimmerie

But time ticked ever onward day by day (Oh-oh-oh)

And all those who could read it passed away (Oh-oh-oh)

'Til 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 a power to read the Grimme-Grimmerie

And Oz, which has been said and

Once more will sing out joyous

Ooh-ooh

Look

A man in a balloon arriving from the skies

He's here to fulfill the prophecy but can he read the Grimmerie?

His 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's fulfilled

What meriness could bring

Now every Ozian raise our voice and sing

And sing, and sing

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-ooh-ooh

Wizn'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's 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
