Jane:
They get way more than they deserve
Like taking all our lockers first
Yeah basically they get away with murder
The PTA is in their pocket
Picking favorites, no one stops it
But with me their golden age is over
Call me crazy but their time is up
Smash the system we have had enough

Chorus:
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel until we're cruisin'
Where outcasts live just like everyone else
I'll take the wheel
Sugar sweet, for every, everybody
Not just Queens and Kings with lots of money
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel

Buddy:
Juvenile delinquency and rampant immorality
It leads to crime and anarchy and danger
So you think you've thought it through
But that's what it leads to
Communism is their favorite flavor
I admit that things have gotta change
But change ain't gonna happen in a day
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel and then we'll....
And then we'll... (Cynthia: You'll what?)

Jane:
Stop picking on the lower class
The wallflowers, iconoclasts
We're way over being your easy targets
The feminine machines are broke
The student councils on the ropes
The mother daughter brunch is in the garbage

Susan:
Why you acting like his enemy?
You sang a different tune in his backseat
(spoken) I mean seriously Jane? Who are you really?

Jane:
A shameless nerd, ambitious girl, a rebel on the honor roll
A teachers pet who's looking for good trouble
Italian, a Puerto Rican let me be the voice of reason
There's no time like now to burst the bubble

You bet your ass I'll make the dance
A place that we're all welcome at
And rock-n-roll will burn this mother down
And you can wear just what you want
And no one's gonna tell you off
And rock-n-roll will burn this mother down
Chorus:
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel until we're cruisin'
Where outcasts live just like everyone else
I'll take the wheel
Sugar sweet, for every, everybody
Not just Queens and Kings with lots of money
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel

Olivia: What is it Buddy? Should we phone your debate coach?

Buddy:
I see a new way to ride at Rydell
I'll take the wheel.....
