Lyrics
<poem> Chad: How did we get from the top of the world To the bottom of the heap? Taylor: I don't recall you mentioning The boss is such a creep
Zeke: We still have the ingredients to Make this summer sweet Martha: Well, I got rags instead of riches Jason: And all these dirty dishes Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi, and Jason: Just wish I had three wishes
Gabriella (spoken): Okay, guys, break it up
Troy: We've got to work, work To work this out We'll make things right The sun will shine
If we work, work There'll be no doubt We can still save the summer If we work this out!
Chad (spoken): Dude, what have you gotten us into? Troy (spoken): Come on, we can totally turn this thing around!
Chad: I'd rather face a seven footer Straight up in the post Taylor & Martha: That sure beats hangin' here And burning someone's toast
Jason: I needed Benjamins But this ain't worth the stress Kelsi & Zeke: Maybe there's a better way To fix this greasy mess
Troy: We're a champion team A well-oiled machine And we've faced tougher Problems than this
I know it's a grind, but I'm sure we can find A way to have fun while We get this job done

Tell me what you want Gabriella: Tell me what you need Zeke: A little bit of sugar Martha: A little bit of butter Kelsi: It's the perfect recipe!
Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi, and Jason: Pay day! Jason: It'll taste so sweet Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi, and Jason: Pay day! Zeke: Good enough to eat!

Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi, and Jason: We've got to work, work To work this out We'll make things right The sun will shine
