21 Chump Street: the Musical - One School Lyrics
NAOMI
I didn't say yes. I didn't say I'll think about it.
I can't tell you my real name, but yes,
I can confirm that I did get asked to the prom
NARRATOR
The undercover officer who played Naomi is 25 years old,
A new recruit at the Palm Beach Police Force
NAOMI
My assignment:
To pose as a senior and find out who's buying, who's selling.
Mostly pills and weed,
You would not believe how easy it is to get pills and weed
NARRATOR
What's the hardest part?
NAOMI
Pssh—the cafeteria.
Imagine hundreds of teenagers yelling and running full speed.
And the lack of deodorant.
Let's just say I would drink at the end of the day.
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life.
If I'm doing my job and I'm doing it right,
I am making life safer one school at a time
NARRATOR
So he asked you to prom?
NAOMI
Right. I gave every excuse. I said it's too expensive,
Which is totally true, by the way.
I told him, look, I'm just a transfer,
I wouldn't feel comfortable with all your friends.
And it's true you make friends on the job, then it ends.
You meet kids who are sensitive, smart, and defenseless.
Those are the ones you remember,
The ones that you think about after you're gone
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life.
If I'm doing my job and I'm doing it right,
I am making life safer one school at a time
NARRATOR
Meanwhile—
JUSTIN
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?
STUDENTS
What the heck I gotta do?
JUSTIN
Tell me who I gotta be for you to be with me
NAOMI
Do you smoke?
JUSTIN
What?
NAOMI
Do you smoke weed?
JUSTIN
No, I don't. But if that's what you need,
I can find some for you. I can be your supply
NAOMI
You would do that for me?
JUSTIN
I can be your guy. Oh, yes!
NAOMI
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life
JUSTIN
I'll get whatever you need!
NAOMI
If I'm doing my job and I'm doing it right,
I am making life safer one school at a time
NARRATOR
What are you thinking as you're trying to get this pot to sell her?
JUSTIN
I'm thinking, what the heck am I doing?
Cause I don't hang out with guys like that
NARRATOR
So what did you do?
