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

So what if all the ducklings think you're ugly?
It's because they've never seen a swan
It takes all kind of people who need people
So find people you can bear

Go find your group, your herd, your flock
Come take a walk and answer my small questionnaire
Which I'll sing to you
Ahhhh Ahhhh

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 in 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've 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!

Cady, where do you belong
Where do you belong?

We're dying to tell you

We all get a box and that's where we go
It's stifling but at least you know
So, where do you belong?

We're dying to tell ya
We're dying to
We're dying to
We're dying to

There's girls who eat their feelings
And girls who don't eat
I like eating birthday cake around them
Makes them crazy

Debate team
And dance team
They like to compete

And if they don't win
Their parents ground them

Who's this?

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 and 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!

Ohh

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 flowering wallflowers, bending on steamers

Forget this fuss
And stall with us
Come to lunch
And sit with us

Okay?

Yes!
Sit with us!

Here's where you belong!

Here's where you belong!

Here's where you belong!
Here's where you belong!
Here's where you belong!
Here's where you belong!

You need protection with pizazz
And helping hands

That also jazz!
Here's where you belong
Stay here

Okay, I'm staying!

Yeah, here's where you belong!

Hey Cady, this is where you fit
Hey Cady, this is where you sit

Here's where you belong!
