Mama I'm a big girl now!
Nikki
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!
Ricki
Once upon a time I played with "childhood" toys
But I'd rather play around with "older" boys
So if I get a hickey please don't have a cow
Girls
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now!
Marrisa
Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt
I got 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
Nikki
Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home
Ricki
But now I'm just like Gidget and I gotta get to Rome!
Marrisa
So say, arrivederci
Nikki
Toodle-loo!
Ricki
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)
Marrisa
Once upon a time I was a shy young thing
Ricki
Could barely walk and talk
So much as sing and dance
Nikki
But let me hit that stage
I wanna take my bow
Girls
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now!
Nikki
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh
Once upon a time I used to dress up 'Ken. '
Ricki
But now that I'm a woman I like bigger men
Marrisa
And I don't need a barbie doll to show me how
Girls
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now!
Girls
Ma, ya always taught me
What was right from wrong
And now I just 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
Nikki
Watch me fly!
Other girls
Show off
Girls
Hey mama, say mama
Marrisa
Someday I will meet a man you won't condemn
Ricki
And we'll have some kids and you can torture them
Tracy
But let me be a star before I make that vow
Girls
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now!
Marrisa
Oh-oh-oh
Girls
Mama, I'm a big girl now!
Nikki
Hey-hey-hey
Girls
Mama, I'm a big girl
Ricki
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!
