Mama. I'm a big girl now!

[TRACY]
Once upon a time when I was just a kid
You never let me do iust 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! No! please!

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

Don't contradict me!
