**"Stick to the Status Quo"** is a song from the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical.

## Lyrics

**Zeke:**

You can bet there's nothing 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:**

Well if Troy can tell his secret than I can tell mine... I bake

**Chad:**

What?

**Zeke:**

I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pan dowdy!

**Jocks:**

Not another sound

**Zeke:**

Someday I hope to make the perfect crême brûlée!

**Jocks:**

No, no, no, no...

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you want to 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

**Martha:**

Hip hop is my passion! I love to pop and lock and jam and break!

**Brainiacs:**

Is that even legal?

**Brainiacs:**

Not another peep

**Martha:**

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

**Skater Dude:**

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 and Dudettes:**

Speak your mind and you'll be heard

**Skater Dude:**

Alright, if Troy wants to be a singer, then I'm coming clean! I play the cello!

**Dude 1:**

Awesome!

**Dude 2:**

What is it?

**Dude 1:**

A saw?

**Skater Dude:**

No, dude, it's like a giant violin!

**Dudes and Dudettes:**

Not another word

**Dude 2:**

Do you have to wear a costume?

**Skater Dude:**

Coat and tie

**Brainiacs:**

No, no, no, no...

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you want to be cool, follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo

**Everyone:**

Oh, 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 and Ryan:**

And we gotta get things

Back where they belong

We can do it

**Skater Dude:**

Gotta play

**Dudes and Dudettes:**

Stick with what you know

**Sharpay and Ryan:**

We can do it

**Martha:**

Hip hop hooray!?

**Brainiacs:**

She has got to go

**Sharpay and Ryan:**

We can do it

**Zeke:**

Crême brûlée?

**Jocks:**

Keep your voice down low

**Everyone:**

Not another peep

No, not another word

No, not another sound

No

**Sharpay:**

Everybody quiet!

**Gabriella:**

Why is everybody staring at you?

**Taylor:**

Not me, you

**Gabriella:**

Because of the callbacks? I can't have people staring at me! I really can't!

No! No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you want to be cool, follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo

Oh, 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

Don't you stick to the status. No!

Stick to the status. No!

Stick to the status quo
