Where Do You Belong?
Original Broadway Cast Recording
Lyrics
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 bare
We'll find your group, your herd, your flock
Come take a walk and answer my small questionnaire
Which I'll sing to you
Ah
Ah
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 gangsta whites
Though they're all smokin' 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 of you!
Back me up, show choir!
(Ah ah) Cady, where do you belong
Where do you belong
We're dying to tell ya!
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 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 those are 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 site, voted in or out
'Cause that's what high school's all about
Where do you belong?
God who is at this table?
Why it's Janis and Damian, too (oh Oh)
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 the survivors, just waiting for june
The junior achievers
The christian believers
The tall, flowering wallflowers, bending on sneakers
Forget this fuss and shall with us
Come to lunch and sit with us!
Okay, yes (Janice)
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
Not also jazz!
Stay here (here's where you belong)
Okay, I'm staying!
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!
