Wicked (Musical) "Dancing through life" lyrics

Dancing through life

FIYEROThe trouble with schools isThey always try to teach the wrong lessonsBelieve me, I've been kicked outOf enough of them to knowThey want you to become less callowLess shallowBut I say: why invite stress in?Stop studying strifeAnd learn to live the unexamined life

Dancing through lifeSkimming the surfaceGliding where turf is smoothLife's more painlessFor the brainlessWhy think too hardWhen it's so soothing

Dancing through lifeNo need to tough itWhen you can slough it off as I doNothing mattersBut knowing nothing mattersIt's just lifeSo keep dancing through

Dancing through lifeSwaying and sweepingAnd always keeping coolLife is fraught-lessWhen you're thoughtlessThose who don't tryNever look foolish

Dancing through lifeMindless and carelessMake sure you're where less trouble is rife.Woes are fleetingBlows are glancingWhen you're dancingThrough life

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

GALINDAThat would be the Ozdust Ballroom.

FIYEROSounds perfect.

Let's go down to the Ozdust BallroomWe'll meet there later tonightWe can dance till it's lightFind the prettiest girlGive 'er a whirlRight on down to the Ozdust BallroomCome on - follow meYou'll be happy to be there

ALLDancing through lifeDown at the Ozdust

FIYEROIf only because dustIs what we come to

ALLNothing mattersBut knowing nothing mattersIt's just life

FIYEROSo keep dancing through

BOQMiss Galinda -I hope you'll save at least one dance for me.I'll be right there.Waiting.All night.

GALINDAOh - that's so kind.But you know what would be even kinder?

See that tragically beautiful girlThe one in the chairIt seems so unfairWe should go on a spreeAnd not sheGeeI know someone would be my heroIf that someone were to go invite her

BOQWell, maybe - I could invite her!

GALINDAOh, Biq, really?You would do that for me?

BOQI would do anything for you, Miss Galinda

GALINDASo...

FIYEROSo I'll be picking you up around eight?

GALINDAAfter all -

Now that we've met one another

FIYERO AND GALINDAIt's clear we deserve each other

GALINDAYou're perfect

FIYEROYou're perfect

BOTHSo we're perfect togetherBorn to be foreverDancing through life

NESSAROSEOh, Elphaba - isn't it wonderful?

Finally, for this one nightI'm about to have a fun nightWith this Munchkin boyGalinda found for meAnd I only wish there wereSomething I could do for herTo repay herElphaba, see?We deserve each otherAnd Galinda helped it come trueWe deserve each other,Me and Boq

Please, Elphaba try to understand.

ELPHABAI do

Listen, Glinda -Nessa and I were talking about you just now.

GALINDAAnd 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 pinkYou deserve each otherThis hat and youYou're both so smartYou deserve each otherSo here, out of the goodness of my heart.

BOQListen, Nessa.

NESSAROSEYes?

BOQUh - NessaI've got something to confess, aReason why, well -Why I asked you here tonightNow I know it isn't fair

NESSAROSEOh, Boq, I know why.

BOQYou do?

NESSAROSEIt's because I'm in this chairAnd you felt sorry for meWell - isn't that right?

BOQNo! No! It's because, because,Because you are so beautiful!

NESSAROSEOh, Boq, I think you're wonderful!And we deserve each otherDon't you see, this is our chance?We deserve each otherDon't we, Boq?
