ฟังเพลงDancing Through Life (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

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 swankified place in town?

That would be the Oz Dust Ballroom.

Sounds perfect!

Let's go down

To the Oz Dust Ballroom

We'll meet there later tonight.

We can dance till it lights.

Find the prettiest girl

Give her a whirl.

Right on down

To the Oz Dust Ballroom.

Come on follow me,

You'll be happy to be there.

Dancing through life!

Down at the Oz Dust.

If only because dust

Is what we come to.

Nothing matters,

When knowing nothing matters.

It's just

Life

So keep dancing through.

Um, M-miss Galinda,

I-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 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.

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?

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.

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 years 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,

Uh, 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 Oz Dust,

If only because dust

Is what we come to.

And the strange thing

Your life could end up changing

While your dancing

Through!
