《A Chorus Line》的完整歌詞如下：
女：
Are you ready to say goodbye to life?
Are you ready to give up?
Are you ready to give in?
男：
Oh, we're always ready.
We're actors.
女：
But you know, you don't look much like an actor.
What are you?
男：
I'm a fighter.
A dancer.
I'm a cross-dresser.
And I don't even know if I want it anymore.
女：
And now we want the truth.
The whole truth.
Don't hide behind your line of make-up and scenery.
Why do you come here?
Why do you keep going back?
Do you just come here for fun?
Or are you hoping that one day,
they might find the next Broadway hit?
男：
It's the latter. I want it. I need it. I must have it.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
I want to be on that stage, singing and dancing, and laughing and crying, and living and dying.
It's the only thing that I know for sure.
It's the only thing that I am sure of.
女：
So, what are you waiting for?
You know what you want. You know what you've got to do.
You've got to take that next step.
You've got to go for it. You've got to go for it now!
男：
I don't know if I can do it anymore.
女：那就跳吧，孩子，你已經站在了起跑線上。我們都是為了夢想而活的，為了那個唯一能讓我們感到生活美好的夢想。這就是我們為何在這裡，這就是我們為何永遠不會放棄的原因。跳吧，孩子，為了你的夢想，跳吧！
