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!
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
