Hairspray Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now Lyrics

PENNY
Stop telling me what to do

MOMS
Don't!

AMBER
Don't treat me like a child of two

MOMS
No!

TRACY
I know that you want what's best

MOMS
Please!

TRACY
But mother, please

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
Give it a rest!
Stop, don't, no, please, stop, don't, no, please
Stop, don't, no, please, mama, I'm a big girl now

TRACY
Once upon a time when I was just a kid
You never let me do iust what the older kids did
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

AMBER
Once upon a time I used to play with toys
But now I'd rather play around with teenage boys
So, if i get a hickey, please don't have a cow

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

PENNY
Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt
I get my best dancing lessons from you
You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout
Because you shout non-stop and you're so twisted too

TRACY
Once I used to fidget, 'cause I just sat home

AMBER
But now U'm just like a gidget and I gotta get to Rome

PENNY
So say, arrivederci

TRACY
Toodleloo

AMBER
And ciao

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Stop, don't, no, please, stop, don't, no, please
Stop, don't, no, please, mama, I'm a big girl now

TRACY
Once upon a time I was a shy young thing
Could barely walk and talk so much as dance and sing
But let me hit that stage, I wanna take my bow

GIRLS
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

AMBER
Once upon a time I used to dress up Ken
But now that I'm a woman, I like bigger men
And I don't need a barbie doll to show me how

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong
And now I just wanna give it a try
Mama, I've been in the nest for far too long
So please give a push and mama, watch me fly

AMBER
Watch me fly

PENNY & TRACY
Show-off

PENNY
Someday I will meet a man you won't condemn

AMBER
And we will have some kids and you can torture them

TRACY
But let me be a star before I take that vow

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

PENNY
Oh, oh, oh

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

AMBER
Hey, hey, hey

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl

AMBER
Oh, such a big, big girl

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
I'm a big girl now

Stop, don't, no, please, stop, don't, no, please
Stop, don't, no, please, mama, I'm a big girl now

PENNY, AMBER & TRACY
Mama, I'm a big girl now
