Lyrics

PRUDY:

Don't contradict me!

VELMA:

Don't disobey me!

EDNA:

Don't even think about going to that audition.

GIRLS:

Please?

MOMS:

No!

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!

Chorus:

ALL:

Stop, don't, no. Please! (x3)

GIRLS:

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!

EDNA:

Oh, Tracy!

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 got to 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!

(oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!)

TRACY:

Once I used to fidget, 'cause I just sat home

AMBER:

But now I'm just like Gidget, and I got to get to Rome!

PENNY:

So say "arrivederci"!

TRACY:

"Tootle-loo!"

AMBER:

And "ciao"!

GIRLS:

'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now!

(Chorus)

GIRLS:

(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 want to take my bow

GIRLS:

'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now!

AMBER:

(oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!)

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 just want to give it a try

Mama, I've been in a 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 a take that vow

GIRLS:

'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now!

PENNY:

Oh, oh, ohhhh!

GIRLS:

Mama, I'm a big girl now!

AMBER:

Hey, hey, hey, heyyy!

GIRLS:

Mama, I'm a big girl

AMBER:

Ooh, such a big, big girl

GIRLS:

I'm a big girl now!

(Chorus)

GIRLS:

Mama, I'm a big girl now!
