[edit] Lyrics for the theme song
Sitting in class, watching the time pass,
Can't wait to get out, and hang out with my friends ,
Find out what's new, who's crushing on who, and is that rumor's true,
It's a whole new scene, in the pages of a magazine,
The latest buzz,
its not hard , it's what's in and what's out,
I'm gonna find out, what everyone's talking about.
The latest buzz,
I wanna know just because,
when school is out lets chill out there, coolest way to cut my hair the latest buzz
