(feat. Lucas Grabeel)

[Sharpay:]
I believe in dreamin'
Shootin' for the stars

[Ryan:]
Baby to be number one
You've got to raise the bar

[Sharpay:]
Kickin' and a scratchin'
Grindin' out my best

[Ryan:]
Anything it takes
To climb the ladder of success

[Both:]
Work our tails off every day
Gotta bump the competition
Blow them all away

[Sharpay:]
Yeah we're gonna

[Both:]
Bop, bop, bop
Bop to the top

[Ryan:]
Slip and slide and ride that rhythm

[Both:]
Jump and hop hop 'til we drop

[Sharpay:]
And start again

Zip zap zop
Pop like a mop

[Ryan:]
Scoot around the corner

[Both:]
Move it to the groove
'Til the music stops
Do the bop bop, bop to the top
Don't ever stop
Bop to the top

Gimmie, gimmie
Shimmy shimmy
Shake some booty and turn around
Flash a smile in their direction

[Sharpay:]
Show some muscle

[Ryan:]
Do the hustle

[Both:]
Yeah we're gonna bop, bop, bop
Bop to the top

[Ryan:]
Wipe away your inhibitions

[Both:]
Stump, stump, stump do the rump

[Sharpay:]
And strut your stuff

[Both:]
Bop, bop, bop
Straight to the top
Going for the glory
We'll keep stepping up
And we just won't stop




'Til we reach the top
Bop to the top
