Idina Menzel 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 faught 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...
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
You'll be happy to be there...

[Students]
Dancing Through Life
Down at the Ozdust...

[Fiyero]
If only because dust
Is what we come to

[Students]
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life...

[Fiyero]
So keep dancing through...

[Boq]
Miss GALINDA, I hope
you'll save at least
one dance for me.
I'll be right here.
Waiting. All night.

[Galinda]
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 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...

[Nessa]
Oh, Elphaba-Isn't
it wonderful?
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 -
please, Elphaba, try
to understand.

[Elphaba]
I do...
Galinda, listen.
Nessa and I were
talking about you
just now.

[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
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]
Listen, Nessa

[Nessa] 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...

[Nessa]
Oh, Boq. I know why.

[Boq]
You do?

[Nessa]
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well isn't that right?

[Boq]
No! no! It's
because..uh..because. ..
Because you are so beautiful

[Nessa]
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]
You know what?
Let's dance!

[Nessa] What?

[Boq]
Let's Dance!

[Students]
Dancing Through Life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to
And the strange thing:
You're life could
end up changing
While you're dancing
Through!
