One Short Year
Elphaba: We got on Broadway!
Both: (squeal)
One short year
On the Broadway stage
Glinda: I've always wanted to be on Broadway!
Both: One short year
On the Broadway stage
One short year
On the broadway stage
One short year
Oh, there's so much to do
Every way
That you look in the city
You will see our faces
In all different places
Before the day's through
Elphaba: We've worked so hard to get here, today!
Glinda: Singing Lessons!
Elphaba: Auditions!
Glinda: Seminars!
Elphaba: College!
Both: A hundred strong
There is drama like we've never seen
Glinda: It's all grim!
Elphaba: It's all keen!
Both: I think we've found a place where we belong
I wanna hear
The applause
Elphaba: So we'll be here everyday
Both: To make our lives and make our way
But for today, we'll wander and enjoy
One short year
On the Broadway stage
One short year
To show the world who we are
One short year
And we're warning the city
Now that we're in here
You'll know we've been here
Before we are done
Glinda: Elphie- come on. We'll be late for rehearsal!
Both: Who's on stage?
Whose major dramatiatics
Are making all us merrier
Who's outrage
Is so believiable?
Who's up for some fantastic music
That makes us want to sing and dance
Woo-oo-oo
Are they not wonderful
Elphie and Glinda
One short year/Who's on stage
On the broadway stage/Whose major dramatiatics
One short year/is making all us merrier
To show the world who/who's outrage
We are/is so believiable
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
Elphaba: Two good friends
Glinda: Two best friends
Both: Sharing one wonderful
One short…
Usher: The show is starting now!
Both: Year!
