To make my life and make my way

But for today, we’ll wander and enjoy:

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

WIZOMANIA CHORUS

Who’s the mage

Whose major itinerary

Is making all Oz merrier?

Who’s sagely sailed in to save our posteriors?

Has all of Oz honeymooning?

Woo — oo -oo

Wizn’t he wonderful?

(Our wonderful Wizard!)
