Lyrics

I see that, once again That the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me 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 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 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 Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom We'll meet there later tonight We can dance 'til it's light Find the prettiest girl Give her a whirl Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom Come on, follow me You'll be happy to be there Dancing through life (down at the Ozdust) If only because dust is what we come to Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters It's just life (ah) It's just life So keep dancing through Galinda, um, I hope you'll save a dance for me tonight I'll be right there, waiting all night 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 Well, maybe I could invite her Oh, Bick, really? You would do that for me? I would do anything for you You're good I don't know what you mean I love helping others Oh, and I happen to be free tonight, after all Now that we've met one another It's clear we deserve each other You're perfect, you're perfect So we're perfect together Born to be forever Dancing through life You'll never guess what just happened to me That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked me out He said he was too shy to ask me out first But then Galinda emboldened him (wait, Galinda?) Don't, don't you dare say another word against her I'm about to have the happiest night of my life Thanks to Galinda 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 I do Galinda, um Nessa and I were talking about you just now, and- Well, we were just talking about you How you should join us tonight At the Ozdust And don't tell me you have nothing to wear Because you could wear this I mean, it goes with everything you own 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 Listen, Nessa? Yes? Uh, Nessa I've got something to confess A reason why, well Why I asked you here tonight And I know it isn't fair Oh, Boq, I know why You do? It's because I'm in this chair And you felt sorry for me Well, isn't that right? No, oh, no, no I don't feel sorry for you You're great, I asked you because, because- Because you are so beautiful! 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? You know what? Let's dance What? Let's dance! Dancing through life here at the Ozdust If only because dust is what we come to And here's the strange thing, your life could end up changing While you're dancing through
