Lyrics for Status Back Baby

FZ: Of course we'll send the penguin through the flaming hoop tonight! Guy In The Audience: "Concentration Moon"! FZ: Of course we'll play "Concentration Moon" for you! One, two, three, four . . . Ooo-Ooo-Ooo etc., etc., AH-AH WA WA WA WA WA WA WAH! I'm losin' status at the high school I used to think that it was my school . . . WOW WOW WOW! I was the king of every school activity But that's no more . . . oh mama! What will come of me? The other night we painted posters We played some records by the Coasters WOW WOW WOW! A bunch of pom-pom girls looked down their nose at me. They had painted tons of posters; I had painted three. I hear the secret whispers everywhere I go My school spirit is at an all-time low . . . OH NO! FZ: Of course we'll play "Petrushka"! I'm losing status at the high school I used to think that it was my school . . . WOW WOW WOW! Everyone in town knows I'm a hand-some football star I sing & dance & spray my hair & drive a shiny car I'm friendly & I'm charming . . . I belong to De Molay I'm gonna try like mad to get my status back today! Status back baby Status back baby Status back baby Status back baby
