One Short Day (feat. Michael McCorry Rose)

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 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 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 the 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-ah-ah, the magical wise ones) The wisest of them all We will not live forever That, I can foresee 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 (ah) And all those who could read it passed away (ah) '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 one with a power To read The Grimmerie again And Oz which had been sad and blah Once more will sing a joyous "Ah!" Look! (Ah) A man in a balloon arriving from the sky! (Ah) 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) Oh-ma-ha, oh-ma-ha He can read it! He must be-, a wizard! The prophecy fulfilled What merriness he'll bring Now every Ozian raise their 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 One short day to have a lifetime of fun 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
