Hello, everyone, oh, aren't you nice?
Hi, everyone, I know we're all having fun tonight
But this is actually a huge night for me
I don't know if you noticed
But I originally went out for Fiyero
I didn't get the part because Jon M. Chu said
That I was "too conventionally attractive"
And that rejection would make me a better Pfannee
That's the name of my character
Did you know that? Most people don't
But he was nice enough to let me be Fiyero's understudy
Which many have told me is not a job in movies
But seeing as Jonathan Bailey couldn't be here tonight
I am proud to be your Fiyero this evening
And all I have to say is
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 watch me become less callow, less shallow, guys!
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
Hey, Bowen
Ethan, what the boq are you doing?
Nice job working my charcter name into the segment
But tonight, I'm Fiyero's Understudy
No, I'm Fiyero's Understudy
According to who?
According to Chu, Jon M. Chu
Hey, what does the M stand for?
I think movies?
Yeah, movies
Get those Fiyero duds off of you right now
Wait, hold on, Bowen
I think I hear our cue coming up
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, whoa!
Whoa, Melissa
What in the nessa are you doing here?
I'm the Fiyero Understudy
No, you are not
What are you saying? A woman can't play Fiyero?
No, I think all women should play all roles, you know this about me
So, what's the big problem?
Well, we can't all be Fiyero, it's a little bit confusing
It's really not
Tonight's our night and there's no rule that says
We can't all be Fiyero
Maybe Marissa is right
Yeah, maybe Marissa is right
Because Fiyero isn't just a person
He is a feeling
The feeling of wanting attention
We can all relate to that
Let's do as all Fiyeros do
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 (ah, ah)
It's just life
So keep dancing through
You're good
You're good
You're good
No, no, oh
You're good
You're good
You're good
We're good
Dancing through life here at the Ozdust
If only because dust is what we come to
While you're dancing through!
What's good?
