[Verse 1: Zeke & Ensemble]

You can bet there's nothin' but net

When I am in a zone and on a roll

But I got a confession, my own secret obsession

And it's making me lose control

Everybody gather 'round

[Interlude: Zeke, Chad & Ensemble]

Well, if Troy can tell his secret, then I can tell mine

I bake

What?

I love to bake

Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy

Not another sound

Someday, I hope to make the perfect crême brûlée

[Chorus: Ensemble]

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

[Verse 2: Martha & Ensemble]

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

Open up, dig way down deep

[Interlude: Martha, Brainiac & Ensemble]

Hip hop is my passion

I love to pop and lock and jam and break

Is that even legal?

Not another peep

It's just dancing

Sometimes, I think it's cooler than homework

[Chorus: Ensemble]

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

[Verse 3: Skater #1 & Ensemble]

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

Speak your mind and you'll be heard

[Interlude: Skater #1, Skater #2 & Ensemble]

Alright, if Troy wants to be a singer, then I'm comin' clean

I play the cello

Awesome, what is it?

A saw?

No, dude, it's like a giant violin

Not another word

Do you have to wear a costume?

Coat and tie

[Chorus: Ensemble]

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, 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

[Verse 4: Sharpay, Ryan & Both]

This is not what I want

This is not what I planned

And I just gotta say

I do not understand

Something is really—

Something's not right

Really wrong

And we gotta get things back where they belong

[Verse 5: Sharpay & Ryan, Skater #1, then Martha, then Zeke, Ensemble]

We can do it

Gotta play

Stick with what you know

We can do it

Hip hop, hooray

She has got to go

We can do it

Crême brûlée

Keep your voice down low

Not another peep, no

Not another word, no

Not another sound, no

[Interlude: Sharpay, Gabriella & Taylor]

Everybody, quiet

Why is everybody staring at you?

Not me, you

Because of the callbacks?

I can't have people staring at me, I really can't

[Chorus: Ensemble]

No

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know (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, oh

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know (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
