Lyrics[]

Dumbledore:
Now you are a boy
An orphan boy
And deep inside of you
A broken soul, a gaping hole
Has left you feeling blue

But you're not like the other boys
You've got that magic flair
'Cause when you start to sway
Ya get carried away
And no one can compare

I've been watching you play
I've been listening to the things that you say
And I've come to tell you today
You're no ordinary blighter

You've got a broken heart
And you keep reaching inside to tear it apart
But I'm here to give you a brand new start
And to make your spirit brighter

When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer
I know a secret way you can make them disappear
You've got the talent, kid, here is your chance
They might not understand, but just stick to the plan
And show 'em all it's time to dance!

Always dance
Always dance
Though they'll try to stop you, always dance
Shut your mouth and stop your yappin'
Take your foot and set it tapping
You were born a magic boy, so leap and twirl and prance
Oh, Tommy, always dance!

(spoken)
Well, Tom, are you ready to go to Hogwarts?

Riddle:
I've been waiting to go
For how long I really don't know
But one look at you and I know
That you would never fool me

I've been living a lie
Ever since I made my poor mommy die
I've been softly wondering why
They all choose to ridicule me

Dumbledore:
When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer

Dumbledore (Riddle):
I know a secret way you can make them disappear (I know a secret way I can make them disappear)

Dumbledore:
You've got the talent, kid

Riddle:
This is my chance!

Both:
They might not understand
But we'll stick to the plan
And show 'em all it's time to dance!

Always dance
Always dance
Though they'll try to stop you, always dance
Shut your mouth and stop your yappin'
Take your foot and set it tapping

Riddle:
I was born a magic boy, I'll leap and twirl and prance!

Dumbledore (Riddle):
Oh, Tommy, always dance! (Oh, Dumby, I'll always dance!)

Lucius, spoken:
Hi! I'm Lucius. Care for a friendly dance-off?

Riddle, spoken:
Do I?

Riddle, spoken:
That's pretty good, but can you do... this?

Both, spoken:
Oh!

Slytherins, alternating, sung:
Look at his style
Look at him go
Watch his technique
Check out his flow

Slytherins:
My, how he leaps
Oh, what a prance
Look at him, look at him, look at him dance!

All:
Always dance
Always dance
Though they'll try to stop you, always dance
Shut your mouth and stop your yapping
Take your foot and set it tapping
He was born a magic boy, so leap and twirl and prance
Always, always, always, always
Always, always dance!

Riddle, spoken:
So you see, Ginny, when life sucks - just dance! And since life always sucks, always dance.

(sung)
You've got the talent, kid, so you’re my nominee
You might not understand, but you will dance with me...

Always dance
Always dance
Though they’ll try to stop us, always dance
You were born for my control, so step into my trance
Always, always, always dance...
