Lyrics - Dancing Through Life
FIYERO
The trouble with schools is they always try and teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow, less shallow
But I say why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why thing too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life...
(spoken) So, what's the most swankified place in town?
GALINDA
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom
FIYERO
Sounds perfect!
(Sung) Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl
Give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
C'mon, follow me
You'll be happy to be there
ALL
Dancing through life down at the Ozdust
FIYERO
If only because dust is what we come to
ALL
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
FIYERO
So keep dancing through
BOQ
(Spoken) Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
GALINDA
Oh, that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
(Sung) See that tragically beautiful girl
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
Gee!
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were
To go and invite her
BOQ
(Spoken)
Well maybe I could invite her!
GALINDA
(Sung) Oh, Bick, really?
You would do that for me?
BOQ
(Spoken) I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda
GALINDA
So...
FIYERO
So I'll be picking you up around eight?
GALINDA
After all
(Sung) Now that we've met one another
BOTH
It's clear we deserve each other
GALINDA
You're perfect
FIYERO
You're perfect
BOTH
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life
NESSAROSE
(Spoken) Oh, Elphaba, isn't it wonderful?
(Sung) Finally, for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy
Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba, see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and Boq
(Spoken) Please, Elphaba, try to understand
ELPHABA
(Sung) I do
(Spoken) Listen Galinda Nessa and I were just talking about you
GALINDA
Oh, and I was just talking about you!
I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
(Sung) It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you
You're both so... smart
You deserve each other
So here
Out of the goodness
Of my heart
Instrumental
BOQ
Listen Nessa
NESSAROSE
Yes?
BOQ
Uh, Nessa
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair
NESSAROSE
Oh, Boq, I know why
BOQ
You do?
NESSAROSE
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well isn't that right?
BOQ
No! No! It's because, because
Because you are so beautiful!
NESSAROSE
Oh Boq, I think you're wonderful
And we deserve each other
Don't you see
This is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Boq?
BOQ
You know what?
Let's dance
NESSAROSE
What??
BOQ
Let's dance!
ALL
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to
And the strange thing
You're life could end up changing
While you're dancing through! |
