Hairspray Page #5

# Yes, I know that the world's

spinning fast now #

# But you gotta run

the race to win the prize #

# Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Go, Mama, go, go, go #

# Welcome to the sixties #

Ma, you did it!

Oh, Tracy, I'm a little lightheaded.

There's so much air out here.

Can't we go someplace that's stuffy?

No, Ma, you're on your way.

# Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o-o #

# Go, Mama, go, go, go #

Oh. They're so glamorous.

Wow.

It kicked.

Let's toast to that.

To a boy!

# Yeah, yeah, yeah #

# Welcome to the rhythm

of a brand-new day #

# Take your old-fashioned fears #

# And just throw them away #

# You should add some color

and a fresh new 'do #

# 'Cause it's time for a star #

# Who looks just like you #

Ohh.

Ah!

Oh!

I thought we marked these down.

What?

Ohh.

Thank you, Nadine.

There's my shining star!

Fantastic to meet you!

I'm Mr. Pinky.

It's so nice to meet you.

Ha ha! Tracy, is this your older sister?

Oh, my.

Perhaps she'd like some

complimentary couture.

Couture?

Now, if you'll just sign here.

Flattery will not distract

Miss Turnblad's agent...

from reading the fine print.

Her agent?

Tracy, eat your donuts.

Let's talk.

Mm-hmm.

All right, let's see here.

All right. Now...

Mmm.

Uh-uh. Uh-uh. No!

I want a non-exclusive contract.

Extensions by mutual option.

And I want you to absorb

my 15 percent commission.

Not a dime over 10!

Throw in a bustier?

Hmm.

Triple E.

I hit the mother lode!

# Yeah, yeah, yeah #

Care for a Baby Ruth?

I got one right here.

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Go, Mama, go, go, go #

# Don't-cha let nobody

try to steal your fun #

# 'Cause a little touch of

lipstick never hurt no one #

# The future's got a million

roads for you to choose #

# But you'll walk a little taller

in some high-heeled shoes #

# And once you find the style

that makes you feel like you #

# Something fresh,

something new #

# Step on out, hear us shout #

# Mama, that's your cue #

# Ba da ba da-ba-da #

# Step on out, hear us shout #

# Mama, that's your cue #

# Hey, Tracy, hey, baby, look at me #

# I'm the cutest chickie

that you ever did see #

# Hey, Tracy, hey, baby, look at us #

# Where is there a team

that's half as fabulous #

# I let go, go, go of the past now #

# Said hello to this red carpet ride #

# Yes, I know that the world's

spinning fast now #

# Tell Lollobrigida to step aside #

# Your Mama's welcoming the sixties #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Go, Mama, go, go, go #

# Welcome to the sixties #

# Open the door to the girl who has more #

# She's a star, Tracy, go, go, go #

# Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties #

# Your mama's hip, your mama's in #

# Hey, Mama #

# Your mama's lookin' at herself

and wonderin' "Where you been?" #

# Where you been? #

# Your mama's lit, she's all aglow #

# Your mama, what she's holdin' back #

# Your mama's gotta let go, go, go #

# Welcome to the "six", to the "O" #

# To the apostrophe "s"

hey-yay, baby, yeah #

# Oh-o-o-o-o #

# Oh, yeah #

# Go, Mama, go, go, go #

# Oh-o-o-o-o-o,

oh-o-o-o-o-o #

# Oh-o-o-o-o go,

go, Mama, go, go, go! #

Mmm. Mmm.

Wait till Dad sees you.

Sees me?

He never notices what I wear.

In 20 years, he's never even said to me,

"nice muumuu" or nothin'.

Now he will.

Well, maybe, if he leaves

that shop for 5 minutes.

I swear, I don't know

what goes on down there.

Well.

Mrs. Turnblad.

I'd know whose mother

you were anywhere.

Really?

Hello, Amber.

Hello, Tracy.

Ma, this is Amber and Mrs. von Tussle.

Mrs. von Tussle is the station's manager.

Oh, the station manager.

Oh! Oh, it was so nice-a

you let her on that show.

Well, Tracy certainly has...

redefined our standards. Ha ha!

That's for sure.

Let me guess...

brand-new dress?

Oh, yes.

Well, you'll stop traffic.

Ha ha ha.

It was nice meeting you. Tracy.

Bye, Tracy.

Ugh.

Ma, don't listen to a word she says!

I'm takin' this back.

Don't you dare.

- I am.

- Don't you dare.

Don't you know why she hates us?

She's afraid I'll beat Amber

for Miss Teenage Hairspray.

Really?

They can't put Tracy in special ed.

I won't have it.

I mean, even if I have to tutor her myself...

they cannot hold my friend back.

- You're a saint.

- Mm.

Oh, and it's totally not true about her

and the entire football team.

I mean, please.

Anybody can get grass stains

all over their back.

Amber, stop it.

I'm sick-a you doin' that.

Just because she's a good dancer.

Uh! I'm sorry.

You think that she can dance?

Well, maybe you'd rather

have her as your partner.

You could get sponsored by Goodyear.

Excuse me. What is

going on back there?

Tracy, that's horrible.

Mr. Flak does not have breasts.

What? No. I would-I would never.

What... Oh.

Oh, and Mr. Larkin,

perhaps you'd like to share...

with the rest of the class Patrick Henry's

immortal last words.

"Kiss my ass"?

You didn't have to do that, Link.

Hey, no prob.

Besides, looks like

a cool scene down here.

Right.

Hey, cool.

Hey, Tracy!

Not quite, huh?

Ah, damn. Just when I was gettin' it.

Listen, man,

you ain't gotta stop now.

My mom's havin' a platter party tonight.

Y'all wanna come check it out?

Now?!

Would you mind if I, too, checked it out?

I've never been to North Avenue before.

Uh, well, would it be safe?

You know, for us?

Calm down, cracker boy.

It's cool.

Wow.

Being invited places by colored people!

It feels so hip!

I'm glad y'all feel that way

'cause, uh, not many people do.

- Y'all know what I'm sayin'?

- Yeah, that's right.

# Hey! #

# I can't see why people look at me #

# And only see the color of my face #

# Ah, yeah, then there's those that try

to help, God knows #

# But always have to put me in my place #

# But I won't ask you to be color-blind #

# 'Cause if you pick the fruit then, girl,

you're sure to find #

# The blacker the berry,

the sweeter the juice #

# I could say it ain't so but, darlin',

what's the use? #

# The darker the chocolate,

the richer the taste #

# And that's where it's at #

# Now, baby, run and tell that #

# Now run and tell that #

# Run and tell that #

# Hey, yeah! #

# I can't see why people disagree #

# Each time I tell 'em what

I know is true, oh, no #

# And if you come #

# And see the world I'm from #

# I bet your heart is

gonna feel it, too, yeah #

# I could lie but, baby, let's be bold #

# vanilla can be nice #

# But if the truth be told #

# Blacker the berry,

the sweeter the juice #

# I could say it ain't so but, darlin',

what's the use? #

# The darker the chocolate,

the richer the taste #

# And that's where it's at #

# Oh, baby, baby, run and tell that #

# Run and tell that #

# Go run and tell that #

# Run and tell that #

# Come on and run and tell that #
