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!
