Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now Lyrics
[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!
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]

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

[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]
Woah, 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!
[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]
Woah 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!
