[ALL] 

Goodbye twelve, 

Goodbye thirteen, 

Hello love. 

[MAGGIE] 

Why do I pay for all those lessons? 

Dance for Gran'ma! Dance for Gran'ma! 

[BEBE] 

My God, that Steve McQueen's reall sexy, 

Bob Goulet out, 

Steve McQueen in! 

[CASSIE] 

You cannot go to the movies 

Until you finish your homework. 

[AL] 

Wash the car, 

[MIKE] 

Stop pickin' your nose. 

[MAGGIE] 

Oh, darling, you're not old enough to wear a bra. 

You've got nothing to hold it up. 

[MARK] 

Locked in the bathroom with Peyton Place. 

[VAL] 

Tits! When am I gonna grow tits? 

[BOBBY] 

If Troy Donahue can ne a movie star, 

Then I could be a movie star. 

[JUDY] 

But the thing that made my Daddy laugh so much 

Was when I used to jump and dance around the living room... 

[MAGGIE] 

Please take this message 

To Mother from me. 

Carry it with you 

Across the blue sea. 

"Mother, oh, Mother, 

Wherever I go 

Your Maggie is missin' you so." 

"Mother, oh, Mother, 

Wherever I go 

Your Maggie is missin' you so." 

[AL] 

Dad would take Mom to Roseland. 

She'd come home with her shoes on her hand. 

[DIANA] 

Mama fat, 

Always in the kitchen cooking all the time. 

[SHEILA] 

Darling, I can tell you now, 

Your father went through life with an open fly. 

[VAL] 

Tits! Where are my tits? 

[CASSIE] 

Listen to your mother. 

those stage and movie people got there 

Because they're special. 

[GREG] 

You take after your father's side of the family, 

The ugly side. 

[PAUL] 

Wait until your father gets home. 

[DON] 

Swear to God and hope to die. 

[CHORUS] 

Goodbye twelve 

Goodbye thirteen 

Hello La-a-a-ove. 

[AL] 

Early to bed, 

Early to rise. 

Your broad goes out 

Other guys. 

[CASSIE] 

A diaphragm, a diaphragm. 

I thought a diaphragm was up 

Here, 

Where you breathe. 

[DON] 

I bought a car. 

I bought my first car. 

[MIKE (Spoken)] 

Padiddle. 

[CHORUS] 

Changes, oh, 

Up a-...

Ev'ry girl I know has lockjaw of Down below. 

The legs. 

[CONNIE] 

You're not leaving this house 

'Til you're 

Twenty-one. 

[KRISTINE] 

The ugliest boy asked me to the 

Prom, 

I stayed home. 

[MAGGIE] 

Life is a ashtray. 

[VAL] 

Shit. 

Made it through High School 

Without 

Growing tits. 

[CHORUS] 

...Doubt, 

To break out 

It's a mess. 

[RICHIE] 

My trouble is wine, women, and 

Song. 

I can't get any of 'em. 

Time to grow, 

Time to go, 

A-do... 

[MIKE]

Medical School, 

And you're dropping out to be a 

Chorus boy. 

Nothing!

[DIANA] 

You gotta know somebody to be 

Somebody. 

[MAGGIE]

[SHEILA] 

All you run around with are 

Bums. 

[AL] 

I got nancy's picture, Annabelle's 

Locket, 

Cynthia's ring and Lucy's pants. 

Head-on collision! 

Eddie got killed... 

[RICHIE] 

Let's dance, let's dance. 

[PAUL] 

What am I gonna say when he calls on me? 

[JUDY] 

My only adolescence, my only adolescence 

My only adolescence. 

[JUDY AND KRISTINE] 

My only adolescence. 

[KRISTINE] 

My only adolescence... 

[DIANA AND BEBE] 

Where did it go? It was so...
