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, you get carried away!
And no one can compare.
I've been watching you play, (TR: "you have?")
I've been listening to the things that you say (TR: "uh oh")
and I've come to tell you today,
You're no ordinary blighter.
You've got a broken heart, (TR: "sigh")
and you keep reaching inside to tear it apart,
But I'm here to give you a brand new start
And make your spirits 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, so 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 yapping,
Take your foot and set it tapping!
You were born a magic boy, so leap and twirl and prance!
Oh, Tommy, always dance!
Tom Riddle:
I've been ready 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 & Tom Riddle:
I know a secret way you (I) can make them disappear.
Dumbledore:
You've got the talent, kid!
Tom Riddle:
This is my chance!
Dumbledore & Tom Riddle:
They might not understand, but we'll stick to the plan
and show em all its time to dance!
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!
Tom Riddle:
I was born a magic boy, I'll leap and twirl and prance!
Dumbledore:
Oh, Tommy, always dance!
Tom Riddle: (overlapping)
Dumby I'll always dance!
Slytherins:
Look at his style!
Look at him go!
Watch his technique!
Check out his flow!
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 dance!
Tom Riddle:
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...
Alwayssss Alwayssss Alwaysss dancccccccceeee...

AVPM: "When I was a boy...an orphan boy..." AVPSY: "Now you are a boy...an orphan boy..."

[@laurenhatter6824]

Also don’t forget AVPM: “The other boys would laugh and jeer” AVPSY: “When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer” 👍

[@someotherworldlybeing3167]

It’s kinda like a reprise of starkid

[@catlover8278]

I love the voice Joe gives Tom when he's a little boy, it makes me laugh every time!

[@shakinaf6559]

makes me cry but aight

[@ilikesniffingpaper]

It makes me imagine a little boy with spiky ass shark teeth lol

[@kayliemc6553]

“when life sucks, just dance. And since life always sucks, always dance” thought I should come back and say I made this my ✨senior quote✨

[@MsSmiIeyFace]

And just think, Tom wouldn't have turned evil if he hasn't received a damn snickers bar for Christmas!

[@YouTubeUser-gd8vg]

Haley Quinn *evil and angry voice "Snickers"!!!!!!!

[@higuyzz]

You're not you when you're hungry

[@Mihoshika]

Sweet Tooth strikes again.

[@aveelovesyou]

*Just had an epiphany* Omg guys.. I'm so slow. I just realized that the beginning music and words are pretty much the same as Dance Again.. I'M SO FREAKING SLOW WHY DID I NOT REALIZE THIS EARLIER!?

[@duckinahurry4630]

Avery Keller “cause when you start to sway, you get carried away”

[@mrsyummymum]

"Yay I'm Gay!!!" oh Tommy Riddle XD

[@B4ndG33k1]

honestly, if someone told me that this was the theme song for the death eaters, I'd sign up in a heart beat.

[@ShermanSquiggly]

I'm always like "Awww Tom cares about Ginny!" And then... YOU WERE BORN FOR MY CONTROL SO STEP INTO MY TRANCE! Sigh.

[@linklink3008]

I think he does like her a little bit. Just not enough to keep from using her up until she's dead. He cares about Quirrel of course, and I'm pretty sure his Death Eater friends as well.

[@TyWarner06]

so true

[@caorgi]

When life sucks, dance. And because life always sucks, always dance

[@depressednerds8634]

You've got the talent, kid, so you're my nominee.

[@emilypolinski]

I love how a Potter musical turns into Voldemort's coming out/finding love musical. This is fantastic!

[@127twilight]

Joe Walker is an amazing actor he went from Voldemort, Umbridge, and Little Tom Riddle. Joe is very talented he can do some amaxing voives and then you hear his actual voive and when he does his characters your like No No thats not Joe.

[@Gracehasyoutube]

that is why he is my favourite Starkid (of course there are other reasons )

[@merrysleeps]

@@Gracehasyoutube like the fact he’s SOOOOOOO hot

[@elizamardlin1782]

Dylan's voice at the beginning of "I've been watching you play" is so good

[@CoolGuy25751]

"And since life always sucks, ALWAYS dance" LOL

[@meganjacobson4175]

That awkward moment when Voldemort has an ardorable kid voice. . .

[@DeathTheHaunted]

Am I the only one who finds the last part a little Phantom of the Opera-ish?

[@astrowiz3544]

Yeah haha I think it was meant to be a reference to POTO

[@isabellalesher8487]

I was thinking about Sweeney Todd too EDIT: I was thinking more the “you were born for my control”

[@ladyus8265]

love dumbledore's voice

[@saraawrr]

5:24 anyone else feel like Joe's voice got _really_ sexy at the end omg

[@StarKidWannaBe]

Dylan sings=I melt

[@StarKidWannaBe]

also, anyone else notice that it sounds like "listen to your heart" ever so slightly? lol

[@luizasabbaga592]

This song has such a special place in my heart. Always dance kids

[@cesegedemaine]

I love that Starkid added in bits from past musicals.

[@isabellalesher8487]

Hogwarts in the books/movies: people are dying, drama, bunch of other things. Musical: CaRe FoR a FrIeNdLy DaNcE oFf? WOULD I??

[@TheMaddyMJ]

"now you are a boy, a orphan boy" I LOVE IT!

[@cicyflame]

Not as bad as the Cedric/Lily shipping

[@TheBaloulebougalou]

Dylan's the best !

[@SweenyTodd98]

Joe Walker is amazing!

[@ורדאסף-פ7ס]

Joe's voice so cute here!!

[@KieraWaffles]

Parts of this song sound rather familiar... :D

[@silentdreams123]

I am literally going to die when Starkid releases the musical and it gets to this scene... It's gonna be fantastic :D

[@WonderfulLizardOfOz]

Not to be nitpicky, Starkid, but I think the lyric "though you'll try to stop me, we'll still dance" would work better than "though they'll try to stop us, always dance" at the end.

[@duckinahurry4630]

WonderfulLizardOfOz not really because he’s talking to the “You” person and the “You” person is part of the “we” and the “You” would never try to stop because the “you” is part of the “us” and the “us” will always dance. The “they” is other people that might judge the “us” for dancing

[@malachiknudsen7785]

And to add onto the comment from 9 years ago, "Always" is a very big part of Harry Potter in general, so that's also their throw in and giving that word it's "power" if you will in yhe musical universe as well

[@crazyinsanechicks]

So far this is totally my favorite because it's old-school. Love AVPM

[@mr_oreoman]

Hands down the best Starkid song, come at me

[@booknerd8]

Dylan I mean goodness.

[@thelouisfanclub]

I wish some good singers would do a high quality recording of these musicals because there are some seriously good songs! This song in particular is on par with anything on broadway

[@david-jonballinger6638]

Lol, they ARE great singers. Not to mention some of them HAVE been on Broadway. These are professional productions and many of the performers have acted in tv and other mediums. A large majority of the cast members have been singing for years. While I understand what you mean, and I do believe that the songs are generally great quality. I appreciate the work that goes into them and love them for what they are. :)

[@thelouisfanclub]

ok but often they do sing out of tune and don't get the harmonies right. the songs are great, and although starkid has some great actors i don't think they take the music as seriously as they could

[@david-jonballinger6638]

In these recordings? The harmonies are on point and I can barely hear them go out of tune. If you're talking about the live show of this then they literally had three days to put it together, and one day during this for darren to be put in, learn his songs and harmonies. It could not be helped that there were mistakes. As for all the other shows the performers have constantly improved with every one. Just to remind you that a large majority studied acting and weren't singers at the beginning. But then again you can hear the trained singers in every show of theirs and notice that the members all grow into their own singing. And I'm sorry I really don't mean to judge you but your comment about them not taking the music seriously is ridiculous. In each show they have a musical director/s, this means that each and every song is worked on extensively and that this person refines the performances by the performers. They spend as much time on the songs as the writing and acting. That is what rehearsals are. They are a musical theatre company after all. In the most recent shows, pretty much everything is spot on. In Trail to Oregon everyone sounds great, same for Twisted. As for going flat, it happens to every singer occasionally due to nerves and adrenaline. Even the greats like Idina Menzel and other big ones. Performers aren't machines.

[@Breegan]

This song got me thru some shit tbh

[@chuualwayswins]

wow I forgot how nice this song was. this hits so differentttt

[@JazzFreak2010]

No darren didn't write these aj and clark wrote them

[@yuh-kh2qz]

BRUH THAT "daaaaaaaance" AT THE END HOLY FUCK

[@horsezrule610]

The Flying Greyson I THOUGHT EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! :D can't really blame Ginny after watching this... ;)
