Where Do You Belong? Lyrics by Grey Henson, Barrett Wilbert Weed, Erika Henningsen

DAMIAN:
My momma used to tell me:
“baby girl don’t ever eat lunch on the john.”

JANIS (spoken): Your mother called you “baby girl”?

DAMIAN:
(spoken) Singing, ha ha
(sung) If the other ducklings think you’re ugly
It’s because they’ve never seen a swan
It takes all kinds of people who need people
So find people you can bare

Go find your group, your herd, your flock
Come talk a walk and answer my small questionnaire
Which I’ll sing to you…
Ahh. Ahhh

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?

(spoken): 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

Sexually active band geeks
This is the group of you!

DAMIAN:
(spoken) Back me up, show choir!
(sung) Cady, where do you belong
Where do you belong

STUDENTS:
We’re dying to tell ya!

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

STUDENTS:
We’re dying to tell ya!
We’re dying to
We’re dying to
We’re dying to!

DAMIAN:
There’s girls that eat their feelings
And girls who don’t eat
I like eating birthday cake around them
(spoken) Makes them crazy
Debate team

STUDENTS:
And dance team
They like to compete

DAMIAN:
And if they don’t win
Their parents ground them

CADY (spoken): Who’s this?

DAMIAN:
Darling those are the mathletes

CADY (spoken): Cool!

DAMIAN:
Joining them is social suicide

DAMIAN & STUDENTS:
It’s all college applications
And doctor who quotations

DAMIAN:
They wear their awkwardness with stubborn pride
(spoken) This is my dance break

STUDENTS:
Where do you belong
Where do you belong
Where do you belong
Where do you belong

DAMIAN:
You’ll be judged on site, voted in or out
‘cause that’s what high school’s all about

STUDENTS:
Where do you belong?

CADY (spoken): Oh, a kenya jacket! Jambo, rafiki!

RACHEL HAMILTON: What did you call me?

DAMIAN (spoken): Nope. Those are the woke seniors. Hey, rachel! You look cute.
I liked your post about intersectional veganism. See? Nothing.
She can tell we’re idiots
(sung) But, who is at this table? Why it’s janis!

JANIS: And damian, too!

STUDENTS: Ooo

JANIS & DAMIAN:
We’re not exactly joiners
But, we’ll be good friends to you
And our friendship means you can skip

JANIS: The geeks and the freaks, and the peaking too soon

DAMIAN:
The strivers, and the survivors, just waiting for june
The junior achievers

JANIS: The christian believers

DAMIAN: The tall, flowering wallflowers, bending on sneakers

JANIS & DAMIAN:
Forget this fuss
And shall with us
Come to lunch
And sit with us!

CADY (spoken): Okay?!

JANIS: (spoken) Yes! (sung) Sit with us

DAMIAN:
Here’s where you belong

JANIS & DAMIAN:
Here’s where you belong

STUDENTS:
Here’s where you belong
Here’s where you belong
Here’s where you belong
Here’s where you belong

DAMIAN:
You need protection with pizazz
And helping hands

STUDENTS:
Not also jazz!
Here’s where you belong
Stay here

CADY: Okay, i’m staying!

STUDENTS:
Yes, here’s where you belong!

JANIS & DAMIAN:
Hey, cady, this is where you fit!
Hey, cady, this is where you sit!

STUDENTS:
Here’s where you belong!
