if you only have, if you only have
One short day in the Emerald City
One short day in the Emerald City
One short day in the Emerald City
There's something exquisite
There are buildings tall as
There are wonders like I've never seen
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
One short day to have a lifetime of fun
And we're warning the city
You'll know we've been here
Presenting the absolute factual story
of our wonderful Wizard of Oz
Starring the Emerald City players
long before we can recall
They will not live forever, that I can foresee
So let us set down all our magic
In a strange and secret lan guage
But time ticked ever onward day
An d all those who could read
it passed away (oh- oh- oh)
'Til one day no one could
But, the wise ones left a prophecy
Though we cannot say when
There will come one with power to
And Oz, which had been sad
Once more will sing a joyous
A man in a balloon arriving from the skies
Maybe he is here to fulfill the prophecy
But can he read the Grimmerie?
This man who comes out of the blue,
What meriness he'll bring
Who's sagely sailed in to save
Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning
Has all of Oz honeymooning?
Who's the mage (one short day)
Whose major itinerary is making all Oz
merrier? (In the Emerald City)
Who's the sage (one short
Who's sagely sailed in to save our
posteriors? (To have a lifetime of fun)
What a way to be seeing the city
And then, just like now, we can say
The Wizard will see you now
