I see that once again 00:00

The responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me 00:01

The trouble with schools is 00:06

They always try to teach the wrong lesson 00:08

00:12

Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know 00:15

They want you to become less callow, less shallow 00:22

But I say, why invite stress in? 00:27

Stop studying strife 00:34

And learn to live the unexamined life 00:38

00:50

Dancing through life, skimming the surface 00:53

Gliding where turf is smooth 00:57

Life's more painless for the brainless 01:01

Why think too hard when it's so soothing? 01:05

Dancing through life, no need to tough it 01:09

When you can slough it off as I do 01:13

Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters 01:17

It's just life, so keep dancing through 01:21

01:29

Dancing through life, swaying and sweeping 01:32

And always keeping cool 01:36

Life is fraughtless when you're thoughtless 01:40

Those who don't try never look foolish 01:44

Dancing through life, mindless and careless 01:48

Make sure you're where less trouble is rife 01:52

Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing 01:55

When you're dancing through life 02:00

02:10

Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom 02:23

We'll meet there later tonight 02:26

We can dance 'til it's light 02:31

Find the prettiest girl 02:34

Give her a whirl 02:36

Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom 02:38

Come on, follow me 02:43

You'll be happy to be there 02:46

Dancing through life down at the Ozdust 02:50

If only because dust is what we come to 02:53

Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters 02:57

It's just life 03:02

It's just life 03:08

So keep dancing through 03:12

Galinda, um, I hope you'll save a dance for me tonight 03:18

I'll be right there, waiting all night 03:23

That's so kind 03:26

But you know what would be even kinder? 03:29

See that tragically beautiful girl? 03:32

The one in the chair 03:35

It seems so unfair 03:38

We should go on a spree 03:40

And not she, gee 03:42

I know someone would be my hero 03:44

If that someone were to go invite her 03:47

(Well, maybe I could invite her) 03:54

Oh, Bick, really? 03:59

You would do that for me? 04:01

I would do anything for you 04:03

You're good 04:07

I don't know what you mean 04:10

I love helping others, oh, and I happen to be free tonight, after all 04:12

Now that we've met one another 04:19

It's clear we deserve each other 04:23

You're perfect (you're perfect) 04:26

So we're perfect together 04:28

Born to be forever 04:31

Dancing through life 04:34

You'll never guess what just happened to me 04:40

That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked me out 04:42

He said he was too shy to ask me out first 04:46

But then Galinda emboldened him (wait, Galinda?) 04:49

Don't, don't you dare say another word against her 04:52

I'm about to have the happiest night of my life 04:57

Thanks to Galinda 05:01

Finally, for this one night 05:03

I'm about to have a fun night 05:06

With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me 05:10

And I only wish there were 05:15

Something I could do for her, to repay her 05:17

Elphaba, see? We deserve each other 05:24

And Galinda helped it come true 05:29

We deserve each other, me and Boq 05:33

Please Elphaba, try to understand 05:37

I do 05:41

Galinda, um, Nessa and I were talking about you just now and 05:44

Well, we were just talking about you! 05:49

How you should join us tonight 05:51

At the Ozdust 05:53

And don't tell me you have nothing to wear 05:54

Because you could wear this 05:57

I mean, it goes with everything you own 06:00

It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think? 06:04

You know, black is this year's pink 06:07

You deserve each other, this hat and you 06:10

You're both so smart 06:14

You deserve each other so here 06:17

Out of the goodness of my heart 06:20

06:24

Listen, Nessa? 07:28

Yes? 07:29

Uh, Nessa 07:30

I've got something to confess 07:31

A reason why, well 07:34

Why I asked you here tonight 07:36

And I know it isn't fair 07:39

Oh, Boq, I know why 07:42

You do? 07:44

It's because I'm in this chair 07:45

And you felt sorry for me 07:48

Well, isn't that right? 07:52

No! Oh, no, no, I don't feel sorry for you 07:53

You're great, I asked you because, because 07:57

Because you are so beautiful! 08:04

Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful! 08:07

And we deserve each other 08:10

Don't you see? This is our chance 08:13

We deserve each other 08:17

Don't we, Boq? 08:19

You know what? 08:22

Let's dance 08:23

What? 08:26

Let's dance! 08:27

08:32

Dancing through life here at the Ozdust 09:13

If only because dust is what we come to 09:18

And here's the strange thing, your life could end up changing 09:22

Lyrics:

[English]

I see that once again

The responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me

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 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

...

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

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

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?
