Buffy: 
Life`s a show 
And we all play our parts 
And when the music starts 
We open up our hearts 
It`s all right 
If some things come out wrong 
We`ll sing a happy song 
And you can sing along 
Where there`s life 
There`s hope 
Every day`s 
A gift 
Wishes can 
Come true 
Whistle while 
You work 
So hard 
All day 
To be like other girls 
To fit in in this glittering world 
Don`t give me songs 
Giles: (spoken) 
She needs back-up. Anya, Tara... 
Buffy: 
Don`t give me songs 
Give me something to sing about 
Anya and Tara: 
Ah ah ah ah ah... 
Buffy: 
I need something to sing about 
Anya and Tara: 
Ah ah ah ah ah... 
(short dance break - Buffy, Anya and Tara) 
Buffy: 
Life`s a song 
You don`t get to rehearse 
And ev`ry single verse 
Can make it that much worse 
Still my friends 
Don`t know why I ignore 
The million things or more 
I should be dancing for 
All the joy 
Life sends 
Family 
And friends 
All the twists 
And then 
Knowing that 
It ends 
Well that 
Depends 
On if they let you go 
On if they know enough to know 
That when you bowed 
You leave the crowd 
There was no pain 
No fear, no doubt 
`Til they pulled me out 
Of heaven 
So that`s my refrain 
I live in hell 
`Cause I`ve been expelled 
From heaven 
I think I was in heaven 
So give me something to sing about 
Please, give me something 
(dance break - Buffy) 
Spike: 
Life`s not a song 
Life isn`t bliss 
Life is just this 
It`s living 
You`ll get along 
The pain that you feel 
Only can heal 
By living 
You have to go on living 
So one of us is living 
Dawn: (spoken) 
The hardest thing in this world is to live in it.
