[GABRIELLA:]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

[TAYLOR:]
Ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reactions
Thanks to Sharpay, our team’s been fractured into factions
This summer’s becoming a mess, these rich folks have no compassion
We’re struggling to serve the guests, and Troy’s missing in action
I get no satisfaction witnessing Sharpay’s attraction
The way she simps and schemes and dresses Troy in prep school fashion
Our boys in kitchens, our wildcats, live ration to ration
As Lava Springs patrons spend the day chillaxin’
This bitch is askin' for someone to give her a smack
Somebody gimme some dirt on this fabulous ass so we can at last unmask her
I'll close the curtain on her, someone pull the rope and bop it
While we were all watching, she put Troy Bolton in her pocket

[TAYLOR & GAB:]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

Look back at our Twinkle Towne

[KESLI:]
Which I wrote

[ALL:]
Should we be surprised?
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side

[TAYLOR:]
So he gave you a beautiful neck-a-lace

GAB:
Didn’t that mean that he promised to be my number one guy?

[KELSI:]
Look in his eyes!

[TAYLOR:]
See how he lies

[KELSI:]
Now always ditching you and the guys 

[TAYLOR:]
Using Sharpay’s dad’s connections
Building a college career in seconds

[KELSI:]
If we don't stop it Sharpay learns no lesson

[GABRIELLA:]
I thought he was mine :(

[TAYLOR:]
Somebody has to stand up for our gal!

[KELSI:]
Somebody has to boost morale!

[TAYLOR:]
If there's an Evans we want to take down

[TAY & KELSI:]
You can’t just go and remove her crown

[KELSI:]
I write the songs, I have to sit in
Watching her singing and dancing and spinning
If Troy Bolton isn't gon' listen
To us in the thick of it, this is the difference:
Troy is a clown!

[TAY & KELS & GAB:]
Oh!
This summer job isn't employment we chose
Oh!
This summer job’s keeping us all on our toes
Oh!
Let's show this upper-class club who they're up against!
Oh!

[TAY & KELSI:]
East High motherfuckin'

[ALL:]
Wildcats!!

[ALL:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
Let's follow Sharpay and see where she goes

[Ensemble:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
Because every second her audacity grows

[Ensemble:]
Oh!

[ALL:]
If we follow Sharpay and see how she schemes
Roll up your sleeves, look for the keys to Sharpay’s misdeeds 

[ALL:]
It must be nice, it must be nice

[Gab:]
Follow Sharpay and see where she goes

[ALL:]
It must be nice, it must be nice

[WILDCATS:]
We will rescue our bro

[Gab, tay, kelsi:]
We won't be invisible
We won't be denied
Still
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Sharpay on your side 

Sharpay On Your Side (Washington On Your Side)

bolton:
Ms. Darbus, you asked to see me?

darb:
I know you’re busy

bolt:
What do you need, ma’am? Ma’am?

darb:
I wanna give you a word of warning

bolt:
Ma’am, I don’t know what you heard
But whatever it is, Sharpay started it

darb:
I think Troy saw you and me  this morning

bolt:
You’re kidding

darb:
I need a favor

bolt:
Whatever you say, ma’am, I can talk to Troy a little later

darb:
Shh. Talk less 

bolt:
He’ll never guess
I know the situations grim, but I can always gaslight him 

darb:
I think that we should reassess

bolt:
Yes! We’ll find a way. Nothing really has to change

darb:
No, I think it’s best for us if we just call it quits 

bolt:
Ha! That’s a pretty good one

darb:
This is the end We’re breaking up I’m serious

bolt:
I’m sorry, what?

darb:
One last time
Relax, sing a song with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And we’ll have no choice but to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I

bolt:
No, ma’am, why?

darb:
I wanna talk about your family

bolt:
Ma’am, with me and my wife on the verge of divorce, is this the best time

darb:
Don’t wanna be the cause of you and Troy fighting

bolt:
But—

darb:
Get with the program, stop whining
After everything that has occurred
 The ways of your body I have learned

bolt:
As far as the students are concerned
They’ll never know, please don’t leave me alone
Please! One last time
Dribble my balls with me 
One last time
And if we have tonight
Then maybe we won’t have to say goodbye
Goodbye
You and I

darb:
Mr. Bolton, think of your family!

bolt:
No! We’ve done nothing wrong.

darb:
Your son is my starring lead

bolt:
So maybe you could be his new mom
Why do you have to say goodbye?

darb:
If I say goodbye, your family can hold strong
It outlives you when you’re gone
Like the playwrights say:
Theatre is the art form of the present: 
it exists only in the present, and then it's gone.
And It’s quite a performance we gave
You and I are just the present, no future
The curtain is closed, I’m afraid
Take a bow for the performance you gave
One last time

bolt:
One last time

darb:
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?…
Why, such is love’s transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

[Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.]

bolt:
One last time 

ALL WOMEN:

One Last Time

[ZEKE:]
How does Troy Bolton the star baller
Affectionate boyfriend of the lifeguard
Finder of the summer jobs
Ardently abuse his new promosh
Destroy his reputation?
Welcome, folks, to

[Zeke/Company:]
The Evans administration!

[Zeke:]
Sharpay knows higher-ups, arranges Troy’s scholarship

[Ryan:]
Sharpay is out of control, now this is a dictatorship

[Zeke:]
Sharpay fires Ryan
Privately calls him the f slur in her taunts

[Troy:]
Say what?!

[Zeke:]
Ryan posts on myspace his response

[Ryan:]
Sit down, Shar, you untalented c*unt

[Troy:] (to himself)
Ryan’s not gay…?

[Gabriella:]
You should’ve been at the baseball game
We had a blast

[Ryan:]
It was so fun (ad lib)
Gabriella’s mom makes the best brownies-

[Troy:]
Yeah, I’ve had ‘em. 😡

The Evans Administration (The Adams Administration)

[TROY]
Gabriella…..
Ryan…………..
Brownies?
What is this?

I have been suspicious for the past five minutes
I am finding it so difficult to mind my own business
I noticed you and Ryan are acting very intimate together

[GABRIELLA]
Is that what you think? Are you done?

[TROY]
I know he looks so hot doing his little jazz squares
But beyond that I’m not sure how him and I would compare
To seek another guy, to stray from our relationship
I never thought you’d be the one I’d have this conversation with
A theater kid homewrecking, can’t believe my eyes
Tell me the truth, don’t give me your lies
I hope that you enjoyed him, hope you had your fun
Ya best fess up or we are done done

[GAB]
Troy, how can you say this while you’re running off with Sharpay?

[CHAD, RYAN, ZEKE?]
Sharpay

[GAB]
You know nothing, you haven’t even noticed that Ryan is gay

[THE BOYS]
Is Gay

[GAB]
If Chad can prove I never cheated on you
Do you promise to stop thinking something so untrue?

[CHAD]
No one else was in the room where it happened

[GAB]
Is this okay?

[CHAD]
Um, yes, he said
[RYAN]
Yeah sure whatever

“Look Chad I get that you are too scared to dance
So I think that it’s time to put your fear up to the test
If I win this baseball quest then you and all your friends
Will have to bring your zest to the talent fest”

[TROY]
Whoah

[CHAD]
He courted me
Escorted me away and when he had me at the lockers
That’s when Ryan rewarded me
Orally
It was disorderly
I’m sorry you had to find out this way
But I hope you can support me

As you can see I kept a record of every tryst in my little diary
Check it again, our homosexuality is consistent, see?
Ry never kissed a mouth that wasn’t mine
So don’t come after my lover this time
We have no reason for shame
Ryan is no common heathen, though I admit he’s got game
As you can see he has done nothing of hetero action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?

[TROY]
My God

[RYAN]
Chad, let’s go

[GAB]
So?

[ZEKE]
You can’t know if you don’t show

[GAB?]
Troy
Sharpay’s trying to turn you against me
How can you not know?

Whatever Troy, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know

We Know

In the middle of a golf course
There is quiet
For just a moment
The green grass.

When I auditioned for the musicale
I almost ruined the team
I had to sing,
And they couldn’t see my side.  
I played my way out,
Played the game so that they could see….
I played my way out
I looked up and East High had its eyes on me.

The Evans’ came around
Partial strangers
Moved to kindness by my talents
Did enough for me to get opportunities
To be college bound.
I sang in the Spring Music-AL,                                
I led my team to championships                              
I worked harder than Coach Bolton, himself.        
I sang Gabriella love songs until she fell               
I got all my friends hired, I defended them well.
And in the face of confusion and resistance
My talents wrote my future into existence.
And when my foes moved against me with persistence,    
I picked up a ball, I went the fucking distance! 
   
In the baseball diamond
There is Ryan
For just a moment
And also .. Chad?
When I was seventeen a summer job
Destroyed my team,
I was a clown,
I told so many lies. 

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (I'll sing my way out)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (sing every note and win back my team.)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, wait (east high has its eyes on you)
I'll sing my way out
Overwhelm them with melody 
This is the time for integrity, this is how 
I can prove they can bet on me

Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet

Bet On It (Hurricane)

[Kelsi/Chad/etc.]
Lava Springs Employees can no longer perform
In the star dazzle talent show

[ZEKE]
Highlights!

[Sharpay]
I overheard the wildcats 
and Ryan rehearsing the other day
They were conspiring against me 
The Star Dazzle Competition 
is my one time to shine 
away from east high
So Fulton got the Wildcats out of my show

[Kelsi/Zeke/etc.] 
Damn!

[Chad]
Man, this fucking sucks I just learned how to do a pas de bourree!

[Kelsi]
Pas de bourree!

Someone who understands what I’m
Struggling here to do

[Ryan]
I’m not here for you

[ENSEMBLE]
Oooooh!

[RYAN]
I know my classmates like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as talented or kind
I trained my classmates to dance every single night 
They deserve their moment to shine this time
Put what we had aside
I’m standing at their side
You could never be satisfied
God, I hope you’re satisfied

[wildcats]
We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

We’re never gon’ win Star Dazzle now

[ENSEMBLE WOMEN]
Status quo…
Status quo...

Status quo...

[TROY]
Where is my dad?!

[ZEKE]
Troy, come in. They brought him in a half an hour ago. He lost a lot of blood on the way over.

[TROY]
Is he alive?

[CHAD]
Yes, but you have to understand
The bullet entered where it won’t kill him immediately but still pretty soon

[TROY]
Can I see him, please?

[JASON]
They’re doing everything they can, but the wound was
Already infected when he arrived—

[TROY]
Dad

[DAD]
Troy
I did exactly as you said, son
I held my head up high

[TROY]
I know, I know. Shh
I know, I know
Shh. I know you did
Everything just right

[DAD]
Before we even made amends-
I was running for my life
I was running for my life

[TROY]
Shh

I know, I know
I know, I know

Save your strength and
   
Stay alive...

Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this?

[ENSEMBLE MEN]

Who did this, Troy Bolton, did you know?

[DAD]
Boys, I’m so sorry I won’t finish out the season

[CHAD]
My Coach

[ZEKE]
We played basketball

[DARBUS]
I read you shakespeare 

[DAD]
You made me act out every line

[DARBUS]
You did it wrong every time

[DAD]
I would always change the line

[DARB]
Shh. I know, I know

[DAD]
I would always change the line...

[Darb]

To be or not to be that’s the question

Status Quo Reprise (Stay Alive Reprise)

[ALL]
The class of 2008

[JASON]
Can we get back to high school?

[ZEKE]
Please?

[SHARPAY]
So. Every high school has a scandal, yes it’s bound to happen
My brother’s dating Chad, the Wildcats basketball co-captain.
Poor Troy Bolton? He is missing in action
So now I’m facing—

[ZEKE & JASON]
Gabriella!

[SHARPAY]
To my dissatisfaction

[RYAN]
She can hit a C7. Darbus loves her range.

[SHARPAY]
She’s not that great at acting, could be easily interchanged

[RYAN]
But give her a song, she slays it, no matter how the part’s arranged

[SHARPAY]
they say that  I’m high maintenance, at least they know I own the stage

[RYAN]
That’s the problem, sis, Gabriella’s fresh, new talent

[SHARPAY]
Ha!

[TIARA]
You need to change course, bring theater back into balance

[SHARPAY]
Sorry, who are you?

[TIARA]
Tiara Gold

[SHARPAY]
And?

[TIARA]
You need an assistant, so I’ve been told

[SHARPAY]
Ok sure!

[TIARA]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[TIARA & SHARPAY]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[KELSI & ENSEMBLE]
Come on guys!
No!
Sing more!
No!
Bring your talent right up to the stage door
No!
Dance with him!
What!
Duet with her!
What!
It’s senior year, ladies, our last chance to bond and rehearse!

[CHAD]
I don’t like singing

[RYAN]
Well, we need some dancers in the chorus

[TAYLOR]
And Darbus—

[ZEKE]
She’s snapped her cap!

[MARTHA]
She wants a grand performance

[KELSI]
You loved the talent show!

[JASON]
I can’t believe we won that thing!

[RYAN]
Then this should be a breeze

[CHAD]
As long as I don’t have to sing

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: we all know that your father’s death has been so disappointing

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ALL]
Theater or sports?
Sneakers or dancing shoes?
Theater or sports?
But if you had to choose
Dear Troy Bolton: (Theater or Sports?)
your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining (Sneakers or dancing shoes?)
But if you had to choose

[TROY]
Well, if it isn’t Ms. Darbus. Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Troy Bolton!

[TROY]
You’ve created quite a stir, Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Water under the bridge!

[TROY]
Are you having auditions?

[DARBUS]
No!

[TROY]
That’s new

[DARBUS]
Frankly, it’s more entertaining

[TROY]
Ma’am—

[DARBUS]
Yes?

[TROY]
Have you chosen who will play who?

[DARBUS]
No. I’m in between two
And you know what?

[TROY]
What?

[DARBUS]
I learned that from you

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[RYAN]
Is it Sharpay?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[KELSI]
Is it Gabriella?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[ALL]
She’s posting the cast list!

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose
Who will be in the play
We will find out today
Choose
Choose
Choose!

[DARBUS]
So
The students are asking to hear my voice
This production is facing a difficult choice
And if you were to ask me who’ll play the lead—
—Gabriella is who we need
I’ve cast Sharpay many times before
I can’t deny she’s got allure
But when all is said and all is through
Gabriella’s fresh! Sharpay’s old news

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh

[Ryan]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

The roles have been asigned

[ENSEMBLE]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

[KESLI]
And?

[RYAN]
Sharpay’s been pushed aside

[SHARPAY]
Congrats on a job well done
I did give you a fight

[GABRIELLA]
Yeah

[SHARPAY]
I look forward to sharing the stage with you

[GABRIELLA]
Sharing?

[SHARPAY]
As your supporting lead

[GABRIELLA]
Um, Sharpay, I don’t know how to tell you this… Maybe you should take a look at the cast list

[TAYLOR]
It’s crazy that she assumes that she’s a lead… 

[GABRIELLA]
I honestly feel kind of bad

[TAYLOR]
Why?

[SHARPAY]
I’M THE UNDERSTUDY?

The Class of 2008 (The Election of 1800)

This is a song called I Came. I sampled a very strange video of a man acting out unsavory things with an odd-sounding Halloween toy. 

Then I wrote the lyrics about William Hallett coming back from the dead to recount his scandalous marriage to Elizabeth Fones along with his excursions beyond the grave…

William was an early English pioneer of Long Island and the guy who founded Astoria, Queens.

Elizabeth was an English colonist who defied Puritan conventions of the time after remarrying without permission when her husband at the time, Robert Feake, went insane.
