There's something exquisite
You'll want to visit
Before the day's through

There are buildings as tall as Quoxwood trees!

GALINDA:
Dress salons!

A hundred strong
There are wonders like I've never seen

It's all grand

ELPHABA:
It is all green!

BOTH:
And I think we've found the place where we belong!
I wanna be
In this hoi polloi

ELPHABA:
So I'll be back for good someday

BOTH:
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

BOTH:
And we're warning the city
Now that we're in here
You'll know we've been here

ALL
Before we are done!

GALINDA:
(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 the sage
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!)

AUDIENCE WIZOMANIA CHORUS

In the Emerald City Whose major itinerary
One short day Is making all Oz merrier
To have a lifetime Whose the sage who
Of fun Sagely sailed in to save
