## Lyrics

**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 lost control

**(Spoken)**

If Troy can tell his sercet

Then I can tell mine

I bake!

**Jocks**

What?

**Zeke**

I love to bake!

Struedel, scones, even apply pandowdy

**Jocks**

Not another sound!

**Zeke**

Someday I hope to make the perfect Creme Brulee

**Cliques**

No, no, noooooooooooo

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**

Look at me

And what do you see?

Intelligence beyond compare

But inside I am stirring

Something strange is occurring

It's a secret I need to share

**Brainiacs**

Open up, dig way down deep

**(Spoken)**

Hip-hop is my passion

I love to pop, and lock, jam and break!

**Krarnoff**

Is that even legal?

**All**

Not another peep

**Martha**

It's just dancing

And sometimes, I think it's even cooler than homework!

**Cliques**

No, no, noooooooooooo

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

It's better by far

To keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, no, no

Stick to the status quo

**Ripper**

Listen, well

I'm ready to tell

About a need that I cannot deny

Dude, there is no explanation

For this awesome sensation

But I'm ready to let it fly

**Skater Dudes**

Speak your mind, you'll be heard

**(Spoken)**

If Troy can be in a show

Then I'm coming clean

I play the cello

**Mongo**

Awesome! What is it?

**Ripper**

* DOES AN AIR CELLO SOLO\*

**Skaterdude 2**

A saw!?

**Ripper**

No, it's like a giant violin

**Skaterdude 2**

Do you have to wear a costume?

**Ripper**

Coat and tie

**All**

Not another word

**Cliques**

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

**Cliques**

No, no, noooooooooooo

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 got to say

I do not understand

Something is really

**Ryan**

Something's not right

**Sharpay**

Really wrong

**Sharpay and Ryay**

And we gotta get things

Back where they belong

We can do it

**Ripper**

Gotta play

**Cliques**

Stick with what you know

**Rebels**

We can do it

**Martha**

Hip-hop hooray

**Brainacs**

She has got to go

**Ryan and Sharpay**

We can do it

**Zeke**

Creme brulee

**Cliques**

Keep your voice down low

No, not another peep

No, not another word

No, not another sound

No

**Sharpay**

Everybody quiet!

**(Spoken)**

**Gabriella**

Why is everybody staring at you?

**Taylor**

Not me, you

**Gabriella**

Because of the callbacks?

I cannot, people staring at me? I really can't

**Cliques**

Noooooooooooo, 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 quoooooooooooo (x2)

**All**

Quoooooooooooo

Quoooooooooooo

Quoooooooooooo

Quoooooooooooo

Quoooooooooooo

Quoooooooooooo
