Hairspray Page #11

Synopsis: Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.....without denting her 'do!

# On the crazy clothes we wore #

# Ain't it fun to look back #

# To see it's all been done before #

# All those nights together #

# Are a special memory #

# And I can't wait for tomorrow #

# Just as long as you're

dancin' next to me #

# 'Cause it's so clear, every year #

# We get stronger #

# Stronger #

# 'Cause what's gone is gone,

the past is the past #

# Turn the radio up #

# And then hit the gas #

# 'Cause I know we've come so far #

# But we've got so far to go #

# I know the road seems long #

# But it won't be long

till it's time to go #

# So, most days, we'll take it fast #

# And some nights, we'll take it slow #

# I know we've come so far #

# But, baby, baby,

we've got so far to go #

# Oh, yeah #

# Baby #

# Hey, old friend, together #

# Side by side and year by year #

# The road was filled

with twists and turns #

# Oh, but that's the road

that got us here #

# Let's move past the bad times #

# But before those memories fade #

# Let's forgive but not forget #

# And learn from all

the mistakes we made #

# 'Cause it's so clear, every year #

# We get stronger #

# Stronger #

# So don't give up and don't say when #

# And just get back

on the road again #

# 'Cause I know we've come so far #

# But we've got so far to go #

# I know the road seems long #

# But it won't be long

till it's time to go #

# So, most days, we'll take it fast #

# And some nights, we'll take it slow #

# I know we've come so far #

# But, baby, baby,

we've got so far to go #

# Oh, yeah #

# Baby #

# Uh, uh, uh, uh #

# Hey, old friend, come

along for the ride #

# There's plenty of room so jump inside #

# The highway's bumpy

every now and then #

# But it's so much better

than where I've been #

# Just keep moving at your own speed #

# Your heart is all the compass

you'll ever need #

# Let's keep cruisin' the road we're on #

# 'Cause the rearview mirror

only shows what's #

# Gone, gone, gone #

# Yeah, yeah, yeah #

# Got so far to go #

# Ohh #

# Yeah #

# Ohh #

# 'Cause it's so clear, every year #

# We get stronger #

# Stronger #

# So shine that light #

# Take my hand #

# And let's dance

into the promised land #

# 'Cause I know we've come so far #

# But we've got so far to go #

# I know the road seems long #

# But it won't be long

till it's time to go #

# So, most days, we'll take it fast #

# But some nights, we'll take it slow #

# I know we've come so far #

# But, baby, baby,

we've got so far to go #

# Oh, oh, oh, oh #

# Yeah, yeah #

# Welcome to the sixties #

Stop!

# Stop telling me what to do #

Don't!

# Don't treat me like a child of two #

No!

# I know that you want what's best #

Please!

# But, Mother, please #

# Give it a rest! #

# Stop! Don't! No! Please! #

# Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Once upon a time

when I was just a kid #

# You never let me do

just what the older kids did #

# But lose that laundry list

of what you won't allow #

# 'Cause, Mama,

I'm a big girl now #

# Once upon a time

I played with childhood toys #

# But now I'd rather play around

with older boys #

# So, if I get a hickey,

please don't have a cow #

# 'Cause, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# 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! #

# Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh #

# Once I used to fidget

'cause I just sat home #

# But now I'm just like Gidget

and I gotta get to Rome! #

# So say, arrivederci! #

# Toodle-loo! #

# And ciao! #

# 'Cause, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Ohh, stop! Don't! No! Please! #

# Stop! Don't! No! Please! #

# Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Hey, Mama, say, Mama #

# 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 #

# 'Cause, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh #

# 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 #

# 'Cause, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Ooh, ooh, ah #

# 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 #

# Watch me fly #

Show off.

# Someday I will meet

a man you won't condemn #

# And we will have some kids

and you can torture them #

# But let me be a star

before I take that vow #

# 'Cause, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Whoa-oh-oh #

# Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! #

# Mama, I'm a big girl #

Ooh, such a big, big girl!

# I'm a big girl now #

# Whoa-oh-oh, whoaaaa! #

# Please, Mama, I'm a big girl now #

# They came from way

far out in outer space #

# She's hard to miss

and so they landed on her face #

# She's got cooties! #

# They've found a place to nest #

# She's got cooties #

# Cooties #

# If I were her, I'd be depressed #

# Long tailed, sharp nailed #

# Fuzzy legs, laying eggs #

# Oh, no, ew! #

# In science class she's like

a walking show-and-tell #

# Her pet skunk ran away

'cause it couldn't take the smell #

# She's got cooties #

# Nobody wants to sit by her #

# No, don't need a coat

'cause she's got fur! #

# Circle, circle, dot, dot, dot #

# Glad I got my cootie shot! #

# Come on, boys,

let's stamp 'em out! #

# Uh-uh-uh-uh,

uh-uh-uh-uh #

# Cootie, cootie #

# Come on, boys #

# Cootie, cootie #

# Uh-uh-uh-uh,

uh-uh-uh-uh #

# She's got cooties #

# She's just as friendly as can be #

# She's got cooties #

# She shows them cootie hospitality #

# She's got cooties #

# She's like a living Twilight Zone #

# She's got cooties #

# Can you get Rod Serling on the phone? #

# Black, white, red, green #

# Every color in between #

# Dresses like a circus clown #

# Somebody oughta hose her down #

# Grew up in a cootie zoo #

# I bet her two-ton

Mama's got 'em, too! #

# She-she-she's coming! #
