Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now lyrics

[PRUDY, spoken]
Don't contradict me!

[VELMA, spoken]
Don’t disobey me!

[EDNA, spoken]
Don't even think about going to that audition!

[TRACY, PENNY & AMBER, spoken]
Please!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY, spoken]
No!

[PENNY, AMBER & TRACY, spoken]
Mother!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop!

[PENNY]
Stop telling me what to do

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Don't!
[AMBER]
Don’t treat me like a child of two

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
No!

[TRACY]
I know that you want what's best

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Please!

[TRACY]
But mother, please—

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Give it a rest!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Please!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!
[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Please!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
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
So lose that laundry list of what you won't allow

[EDNA, spoken]
Oh, Tracy...

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
'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!
[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
’Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now!

[PENNY]
Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt
I got 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!
Oh-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!"

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Please!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Please!

[EDNA, VELMA & PRUDY]
Stop! Don't! No!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Please! Mama, I'm a big girl now!

[ENSEMBLE]
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

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
'Cause Mama I'm a big girl now!

[AMBER]
Oh-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

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now!

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

[AMBER]
Watch me fly!

[ENSEMBLE]
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

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
'Cause Mama, I'm a big girl now...

[PENNY]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Mama, I'm a big girl now...

[AMBER]
Hey, hey, hey!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
Mama, I'm a big girl

[AMBER]
Such a big, big girl!

[TRACY, AMBER & PENNY]
I'm a big girl now!

[ENSEMBLE & (TRACY, AMBER & PENNY)]
Stop! Don't! No.. Please! (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Don't! No.. Please! (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Don't! No.. Please! (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[ALL]
Mama, I'm a big girl now!
