Loathing, unadulterated loathing

For your face, your voice, your clothing

Let's just say I loathe it all

Though I do admit, it came on fast

Still, I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing, loathing you my whole life long

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

Mindless and careless

Make sure you're where less trouble is rife

Woes are fleeting

Blows are glancing

When you're dancing

Through life

We're gonna make you popular

When I see depressing creatures

With unprepossessing features

I remind them on their own behalf

To think of

Celebrated heads of state or

Especially great communicators

Did they have brains or knowledge?

Don't make me laugh

They were popular, please

It's all about popular

It's not about aptitude

It's the way you're viewed

So it's very shrewd to be

Very, very popular like me

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led to those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)

As it passes, the sun (by a wind off the sea)

Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird)

Halfway through the wood (in the wood)

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

I do believe I have been changed for the better

And because I knew you

Because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky

As someone told me lately

"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I'm defying gravity

I'm flying high, defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down

I hope you're happy

Bring me down

So we've got to bring her down
