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 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
That would be the
Ozdust Ballroom
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
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
So keep dancing through
I hope you'll save at
least one
dance for me
I'll be right there Waiting
Allnight
Oh that's so kind
But you know what would
be even kinder
See that tragic'ly
beautiful girl
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
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 Miss
So
So I'll be picking you up
around eight
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
Oh Elphaba isn't it wonderful
Fin'lly for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy
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 helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and
Elphaba please try to
understand
I do
my sister and I were talking
about you
just now
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
Listen Nessa
Yes
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
Oh 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 No It's because because
Because you are
so beautiful
Oh 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
You know what
Let's dance
What
Let's dance
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
