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!
