Letra de Dancing through life

FIYERO
The trouble with school 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 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
(spoken) That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.

FIYERO
(spoken) 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 ´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
(spoken) Miss Galinda - I hope you´ll save at least one
dance for me. I´ll be right there. Waiting. Allnight.

GALINDA(spoken) Oh - that´s so kind. But you know what would
be even kinder?
(sung) See that tragic´ly 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
(spoken) Well, maybe - I could invite her!

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

BOQ
(spoken) I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda:

GALINDA
(spoken) So:

FIYERO
(spoken) So I´ll be picking you up around eight?

GALINDA(spoken) After all -
(sung) Now that we´ve met one another

FIYERO AND GALINDA
It´s clear - we deserve each other

GALINDAYou´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) Fin´lly, 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) Elphaba, please try to understand:

ELPHABA
I do:
(spoken) Galinda - my sister and I were talking about you
just now-

GALINDA
(spoken) 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:

BOQ
(spoken) Listen: Nessa:

NESSAROSE
(spoken) 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
(spoken) Oh, Boq, I know why.

BOQ
(spoken) You do?

NESSAROSE
It´s because I´m in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well - isn´t that right?

BOQ
(spoken) No! No! It´s because: because:
(sung) 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
(spoken) You know what?
(sung) Let´s dance:

NESSAROSE
(spoken) 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!
