Dancing through life lyrics

FIYERO

The trouble with schools is

They always try to teach the wrong lessons

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 think too hard

When it's so soothing

Dancing through life

No need to tough it

When you can slough 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

So - what's the most swankified place in town?

GALINDA

That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.

FIYERO

Sounds perfect.

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 'er a whirl

Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom

Come on - 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

Miss Galinda -

I hope you'll save at least one dance for me.

I'll be right there.

Waiting.

All night.

GALINDA

Oh - that's so kind.

But you know what would be even kinder?

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 invite her

BOQ

Well, maybe - I could invite her!

GALINDA

Oh, Biq, really?

You would do that for me?

BOQ

I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda

GALINDA

So...

FIYERO

So I'll be picking you up around eight?

GALINDA

After all -

Now that we've met one another

FIYERO AND GALINDA

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

Oh, Elphaba - isn't it wonderful?

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

Please, Elphaba try to understand.

ELPHABA

I do

Listen, Glinda -

Nessa and I were talking about you just now.

GALINDA

And I was just talking about you!

I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!

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.

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

Your life could end up changing

While you're dancing

Through!
