Lyrics of Dancing Through Life (feat. Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode & Cynthia Erivo) by Wicked Movie Cast

intro

I see that once again

The responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me

verse

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

verse

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?

verse

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

verse

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

verse

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

verse

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

chorus

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

It’s just life

So keep dancing through

verse

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?

verse

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

verse

(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

verse

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

verse

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

verse

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

verse

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

verse

Listen, Nessa?

Yes?

Uh, Nessa

I’ve got something to confess

A reason why, well

Why I asked you here tonight

verse

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?

verse

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

verse

We deserve each other

Don’t we, Boq?

You know what?

Let’s dance

What?

Let’s dance!

chorus

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
