Got Character

We were looking forward to our field trip at the aquarium
There was a little line, but we were feelin' fine
Getting ready for a whale of a time

We were waiting, then we waited some more
Then more waiting, waiting, inching closer to the door
We were patient, but then we were stunned
When these blinged-out clowns cut straight to the front

No, why you gotta do us like that?
It wasn't very cool

Then we were sittin' at the sea show
But we couldn't really see, no
Made our way down to the splash zone
So humble, we were so humble, whoa

There was plenty of splash to share
But we were told to get lost by Tuft Pierre
You're too poor, be gone, dry child
The only thing that's poor is that hairstyle!

Oh-ho-ho, burn! (Kiff, you're our hero)
I don't remember her saying that

Okay, I didn't really say that
I only thought about it later on the drive back
We were just sick of 'em talking all of that smack
Being uncool, turnin' their noses up at Table Town School

So we said, "Whatcha all think about this?"
Step right up and put your money where your mouth is
Dance-off, dance-off, we want a dance-off
Dance-off, dance-off, we want a dance-off
We'll settle this once and for all with a dance-off
Our principal versus yours in a dance-off

I just have a few humble words to say about how far I've come
Thanks to give
To someone without whom I wouldn't be standing here today
My two incredible legs
Their moves are going to blow your minds

No, Helen, Helen, I recorded that earlier!
Uh, Helen? Uh, I'm not built for this!
Mm-ah, mm, argh
Mm-aah!
Ah, ah, ah, uh

Everyone, I have something huge and terrible to confess
We didn't beat Tuft Pierre fair and square
We used magic socks, okay?
We cheated and I'm sorry

I wanted to prove that we were better than them
I roped you in, and I didn't care
They really got to me, I couldn't let things be
We didn't need to cheat, we already had them beat

'Cause we've got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy
We got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy

I mean (we got character)
Who cares if this guy can't dance? (We got pride)
He's not a dancer (and that's something)
He, he's a principal (that money can't buy)
A principal who organizes humble field trips (we got character)
And makes the most of them (we got pride)
And, and does other things that principals do (and that's something)
I dunno, safety vest stuff? Pencils? (That money can't buy)

I'd rather go to a school (we got character)
Filled with real people (we got pride)
Where, where (and that's something)
The beautiful drama teacher (that money can't buy)
Helps a principal who in no way can dance (we got character)
Like, whatsoever, at all (we got pride)
So sing with me (and that's something that money can't buy)

We got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy
We got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy

We got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy
We got character, we got pride
And that's something that money can't buy
