Dancing Through Life Lyrics

Fiyero:         THE TROUBLE WITH SCHOOLS IS
                THEY ALWAYS TRY TO 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 THINK 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 FRAUGHTLESS
                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 HER A WHIRL
                RIGHT ON DOWN TO THE OZDUST BALLROOM
                COME ON, FOLLOW ME

All:            DANCING THROUGH LIFE
                DOWN AT THE OZDUST
Fiyero:         IF ONLY BECAUSE DUST IS WHAT WE COME TO
                NOTHING MATTERS, BUT KNOWING NOTHING MATTERS
                IT'S JUST LIFE, SO KEEP DANCING THROUGH
Boq: Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at least one
dance for me. I'll be over 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 BICK! 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
Galinda, Fiyero:IT'S CLEAR WE DESERVE EACH OTHER
Galinda:        YOU'RE PERFECT
Fiyero:         YOU'RE PERFECT
Galinda, Fiyero: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?
                AND WE DESERVE EACH OTHER
                AND GALINDA HELPED IT COME TRUE
                WE DESERVE EACH OTHER
                ME AND BOQ
Elphaba, please try to understand.
Elphaba:        I DO
         Galinda, Nessa and I were just talking about you and ...
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
                AND YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER

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 -- it's --
                BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
