Mama I'm a Big Girl (From "Hairspray")

Mama I'm a Big Girl - Original Cast

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

Stop don't no please

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 used to play with toys

But now I'd rather play around with teenaged 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 ohhhh

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 hoo hoo

Stop don't no please

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

Woah once upon a time I used to dress up Ken

Stop don't no please

Stop don't no please

Mama I'm a big girl now

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

Hey mama say mama

Someday I will meet a man you won't condemn

And we will have some kids and you can torture them

Let me be a star before I take that vow

'Cause mama I'm a big girl now wo wo wo

Mama I'm a big girl now hey hey hey

Mama I'm a big girl

Ooh such a big big girl

I'm a big girl now

Hey hey hey
