Stick To The Status Quo

[Zeke]
You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control

[Jocks]
Everybody gather 'round

[Zeke (spoken)]
Well if Troy can tell his secret than I can tell mine...I bake.

[Jock (spoken)]
What?

[Zeke (spoken)]
I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy!

[Jocks]
Not another sound

[Zeke (spoken)]
Someday I hope to make the perfect creme brulee!

[Jocks]
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Martha Cox]
Look at me
And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occuring
It's a secret I need to share

[Brainiacs]
Open up, dig way down deep

[Martha Cox (spoken)]
Hip hop is my passion! I love to pop and lock and jam and break!

[Braniac (spoken)]
Is that even legal?

[Brainiacs]
Not another peep

[Martha (spoken)]
It's just dancing. Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework.

[Brainiacs]
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Skaterdude]
Listen well
I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there's no explanation
For this awesome sensation
But I'm ready to let it fly

[Dudes & Dudettes]
Speak your mind and you'll be heard

[Skaterdude (spoken)]
Alright, if Troy wants to be a singer... then I'm coming clean! I play the cello!

[Dude 1 (spoken)]
Awesome!

[Dude 1 (spoken)]
What is it?

[Dude 1 (spoken)]
A saw!

[Skaterdude (spoken)]
No, dude, it's like a giant violin!

[Dudes & Dudettes]
Not another word

[Dude 1 (spoken)]
Do you have to wear a costume?

[Skaterdude (spoken)]
Coat and tie

[Dudes & Dudettes]
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Jocks, Brainiacs, & Dudes]
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Sharpay]
This is not what I want
This is not what I planned
And I just gotta say
I do not understand
Something is really...

[Ryan]
Something's not right

[Sharpay]
...really wrong

[Sharpay & Ryan]
And we gotta get things
Back where they belong
We can do it

[Skaterdude]
Gotta play

[Dudes & Dudettes]
Stick with what you know

[Sharpay & Ryan]
We can do it

[Martha Cox]
Hip hop hooray!?

[Brainiacs]
She has got to go

[Sharpay & Ryan]
We can do it

[Zeke]
Creme Brulee?

[Jocks]
Keep your voice down low

[Jocks, Brainiacs & Dudes/Dudettes]
Not another peep
No, not another word
No, not another sound
No

[Sharpay]
Everybody quiet!

[Gabriella (spoken)]
Why is everybody staring at you?

[Taylor (spoken)]
Not me, you

[Gabriella (spoken)]
Because of the callbacks? I can't have people staring at me! I really can't!

[Jocks, Brainiacs]
No, no, no, no
Sick to the stuff you know
If you want to be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, oh no
Stick to the status quo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status
Stick to the status
Stick to the status quo
