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 

AMBER 

Once upon a time i used to play with childhood 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 a gidget WRONG: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!!!
