Laura Bell Bundy – Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now lyrics
PRUDY
Don't contradict me!
VELMA
Don't disobey me!
EDNA
Don't even think about going to
That audition.
TRACY, PENNY & AMBER
Please!
MOMS
No!
3 GIRLS
Mother!!!!
MOMS
Stop!
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,
GIRLS
Give it a rest!!!
ALL
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 just what the older kids did
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow
GIRLS
'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
GIRLS
'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!
Wo -oh -oh -oh -oh
TRACY
Once I used to fidget
'Cause I just sat home
AMBER
But now I'm just like Gidget
And I gotta get to rome!
PENNY
So say, arrivederci!
TRACY
Toodle-loo!
AMBER
And ciao!
GIRLS
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
ALL
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
GIRLS
Mama, I'm a big girl now
(hey mama, say mama)
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
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
GIRLS
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
GIRLS
Ma, you always taught me
What was right from wrong
And now I iust 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
GIRLS
Hey, mama, say mama
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
GIRLS
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
PENNY
Oh - Oh - Oh
GIRLS
Mama, I'm a big girl now
AMBER
Hey - Hey - Hey
GIRLS
Mama, I'm a big girl
AMBER
Ooh, such a big, big girl!
GIRLS
I'm a big girl now
ALL
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! N0! please!
