[GOMEZ]
Let's live before die
Let's laugh before we cry
Let's hold each other tight and dance
Let's try before we fail
Let's fly before we bail
Let's keep things black and white and dance

The world we see
Can only be our friend
If you and me
Keep dancing 'til the end
Can't we see eye to eye
And oversimplify
Let's live before we die and dance

[MORTICIA, spoken]
You think you're pretty charming, don't you

[GOMEZ, spoken]
You used to

[MORTICIA, spoken]
Ugh, that was yesterday, what about tomorrow?

[GOMEZ, spoken]
My darling, don't ask for the stars, when we have this big love-struck moon!
[MORTICIA]
I've never been inclined
To leave the past behind

[GOMEZ]
Let's stay right where we are and dance

[MORTICIA]
If like a castanet
We'll click with no regret

[GOMEZ]
Let's find the evening star and dance

[MORTICIA, (GOMEZ), BOTH]
The place (The place)
We're in
Can never be what was
'Til we ('Til we)
Begin
To do what dancing does

[GOMEZ]
Don't leave me high and dry
But can't you see that I say
Live before we die and
[MORTICIA, spoken]
Has anyone ever told you? You move like a corpse!

[GOMEZ, spoken]
Thank you! I studied with Lurch!
(sung)
If time is ticking by
Then maybe we should try
To face it as a pair and dance!

[MORTICIA, (GOMEZ), BOTH]
Alone (Alone)
We're lost
We're drifting out to sea
But side (But side)
By side
We're gloomy as can be

[GOMEZ]
As gloomy as can be!
If you can take my hand
Then surely we can stand to live before we die

[MORTICIA]
And dance
