Where Do You Belong?

My momma used to tell me

"Baby girl, don't ever eat lunch on the john"

Your mother called you "baby girl"?

Singing, ha-ha-ha-ha

So what if all the ducklings think you're ugly?

It's because they've never seen a swan

It takes all kinds of people who need people

So find people you can bear

We'll find your group, your herd, your flock

Come take a walk and answer my small questionnaire

Which I'll sing to you

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

You'll be judged on sight, and made to fit

So find a clique and stick with it

Say, where do you belong?

Let's take a walk around the cafeteria, shall we?

I'll show you the world as I see it

Varsity jocks and JV jocks

Will throw you in a locker if you say, "Hello"

The rich stoners hate the gangster whites

Though they're all smoking the same oregano

Here's the sexually active band geeks

I got two words for you

'Embouchure' and 'Ew'

And if you like blowing and fingering

This is the group for you

Back me up, show choir!

Say, where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

We all get a box, that's where we go

It's stifling, but at least you know

So, where do you belong?

There's girls that eat their feelings

And girls that don't eat

I like eating birthday cake around them

Makes 'em crazy

Debate team

And dance team

They like to compete

And if they don't win

Their parents ground them

Who's that?

Darling, that's the mathletes

Cool!

Joining them is social suicide

It's all college applications

And Doctor Who quotations

They wear their awkwardness with stubborn pride

This is my dance break

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

Where do you belong?

You'll be judged on sight, voted in or out

'Cause that's what high school's all about

Where do you belong?

But who is at this table?

Why, it's Janis!

And Damian too

We're not exactly joiners

But we'll be good friends to you

And our friendship means you can skip the

Geeks and the freaks and the peaking too soon

The strivers and survivors just waiting for June

The Junior achievers

The Christian believers

The tall, glowering wallflowers

Fending off skeevers

Forget this fuss

And solve it thus

Just come to lunch

And sit with us

Okay!

(Yay! Sit with us!) Yes! Here's where you belong

Here's where you belong (With us)

Here's where you belong

Here's where you belong

Here's where you belong

Here's where you belong

You need protection with pizzazz

And helping hands

That also jazz

Stay here where you belong (Here's where you belong)

Stay here

Okay, I'm stayin'!

Yes, here's where you belong

Hey Cady, this is where you fit

Hey Cady, this is where you sit

Here's where you belong
