In this hoi polloi

ELPHABA:

So I'll be back for good someday

To make my life and make my way

But for today, we'll wander and enjoy:

In the Emerald City

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

ALL

Before we are done!

GLINDA:

(spoken) Elphie - come on - we'll be late for Wizomania!

WIZOMANIA CHORUS:

Who's the mage

Whose major itinerary

Is making all Oz merrier?

Who's sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?

Whose enthuse for hot air ballooning

Has all of Oz honeymooning?

Woo - oo -oo

Wizn't he wonderful?

(Our wonderful Wizard!)
