The song

“Pink Wednesdays Forever”

Back in the halls of North Shore High
Read the lyrics

Back in the halls of North Shore High
Where secrets lived and rumors fly
We wore our pink on Wednesdays bright
Chasing crowns in cafeteria light

The Burn Book pages, stories told
Friendships broke, hearts turned cold

We were queens of teenage dreams
Plastic crowns and silver screens
From the past to who we are
Every scar became a star

Pink Wednesdays never fade away
Memories from yesterday
Through the years we still remain
Mean Girls forever in our name

From the halls of North Shore High
Legends never say goodbye
