Norbert Leo Butz - Dacing Through Life lyrics

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 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 So, what's the most swa*kified 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 'til 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 Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. All night. Oh, 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, Miss Galinda 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? 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: Elphaba, please try to understand I do Galinda, listen Nessa 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, 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! No! It's 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 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!
