Stick to the Status Quo

You can bet there's nothin' but net

When I am in a zone and on a roll

But I've got a confession

My own secret obsession

And it's making me lose control

(Everybody gather 'round)

Well, if Troy can tell his secret

Then I can tell mine, I bake (what?)

I love to bake strudels, scones, and even apple pan dowdy

(Not another sound)

Someday, I hope to make a perfect crème brûlée

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

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)

Hip-hop is my passion

I love to pop and lock and jam and break

(Not another peep)

It's just dancing

Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework

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

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)

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

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

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

♪

This is not what I wanted

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

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 (crème brûlée)

(Keep your voice down low)

(Not another peep, no)

(Not another word, no)

(Not another sound, no)

Everybody quiet!

No, no, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know (stick to the stuff)

If you wanna be cool

Follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no, no

Stick to the status quo

No, no, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know (stick to the stuff)

It is better by far to keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, no, no
