Testo di ' One Short Day (feat. Ariana Grande, Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel) ' di Cynthia Erivo

[TOURISTS]
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

[ELPHABA]
There are buildings tall as Quoxwood trees

[GLINDA]
Dress salons

[ELPHABA]
And libraries

[GLINDA]
Palaces

[ELPHABA]
Museums

[ELPHABA & GLINDA]
A hundred strong
There are wonders likе I've never seen

[GLINDA]
It's all grand

[ELPHABA]
And it's all green

[ELPHABA & GLINDA]
I think wе've found the place where we belong
I wanna be in this hoi polloi

[ELPHABA]
So I'll be back for good someday

[GLINDA]
To make my life and make my way

[ELPHABA & GLINDA]
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 & 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

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

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

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
Ah, the magical wise ones

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR & PRESENTER]
The wisest of them all
[WIZOMANIA SINGER 1]
We will not live forever
That, I can foresee

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 2]
So let us set all of our magic

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 1]
In a strange and secret language

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 1 & 2]
In a book

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 2 & CHOIR]
The Grimmerie

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
The Grimmerie

[PRESENTER]
But time ticked ever onward day by day

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
Oh

[PRESENTER]
And all those who could read it passed away

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
Oh

[PRESENTER & WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
'Til one day, no one could

[PRESENTER]
But the wise ones left a prophecy

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 3]
In Oz's darkest hour
Though we cannot say when

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 4]
There will come one with the power
To read the Grimmerie again

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 3]
And Oz, which had been sad and blah

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 4 & CHOIR]
Once more will sing a joyous

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 3]
Oh

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

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
This man who comes out of the blue
Is he the prophecy?

[PRESENTER]
There's one way we'll know if it's true

[PRESENTER & WIZOMANIA CHOIR, WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
Fetch the Grimmerie (The Grimmerie)

[WIZARD OF OZ]
Omaha
Omaha

[WOMAN, spoken]
He can read it
He must be
A Wizard

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
The prophecy fulfilled
What merriness he'll bring
Now every Ozian raise a voice and sing
And sing, and sing

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 5]
Who's the mage whose major
Itinerary is making all Oz merrier?

[WIZOMANIA SINGER 6]
Who's the sage who sagely
Sailed in to save our posteriors?

[WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
Whose enthuse for hot-air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Ooh, isn't he wonderful?
Our wonderful Wizard

[ELPHABA & GLINDA, WIZOMANIA CHOIR]
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?)

[ALL]
What a way to be seeing the city

[ELPHABA & 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, spoken]
The Wizard will see you now!

[ALL]
Day
