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
One day 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!

GIRLS
Mama, i'm a big girl now!!!
