Lyrics
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 & 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
We've got to work, work
To work this out
Troy & Gabriella:
We'll make things right
The sun will shine
Troy, Gabriella, Martha, Kelsi & Zeke:
If we work, work
There'll be no doubt
If we all come together
We can work this out!
Troy:
Let's work it!
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 & Jason:
Pay day!
Jason: It'll taste so sweet
Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi & Jason:
Pay day!
Zeke: Good enough to eat!
Jason: Gonna make some motion pictures
Martha: Hit the mall with all my sisters
Zeke: Get tickets to the Knicks and Sixers
Kelsi: Kick it with the music mixers
Chad: Buy a ride that suits my style
Taylor: Lounge around the pool a while
Troy: Make a date with my favorite girl
Troy & Gabriella:
We've got it made!
Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Martha, Kelsi & Jason:
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!
Work this!
Gotta work this!
We can work this out!
