Welcome To The 60's

(album: Hairspray - 2007)

[Edna & Tracy:]
Tracy, I haven't left this house in years
Then isn't it time that you did?
Oh, no, Tracy, you have your father meet with him. I don't want to be seen like this! The neighbors haven't seen me since I was a size ten. Don't make me do it, Tracy
Ma, it's changing out there! You'll like it people who are different? Their time is coming!

[Tracy:]
Hey, Mama, hey, Mama, look around
Everybody's grooving to a brand new sound
Hey, Mama, hey, Mama, follow me
I know something's in you that you wanna set free
So let go, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the love in your heart
Yes, I know that the world's spinning fast now
You gotta get yourself a brand new start

[Tracy with The Dynamites:]
Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, Mama, go, go, go
(Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, Mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Tracy & Edna:]
Hey, Mama, hey, Mama
Have some fun

I haven't left this house since 1951

Hey, Mama, hey, Mama
Take a chance

Oh, Tracy, it's been years since someone asked me to dance
So let go, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the light in your eyes
Yes, I know that the world's
Spinning fast now, but you gotta run the race
To win the prize

[Tracy & The Dynamites:]
Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go
(Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey mama, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[The Dynamites:]
Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go
Welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey mama, hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[The Dynamites & Tracy:]
Welcome to the rhythm of a brand new day
Take your old-fashioned fears
And just throw them away
You should add some color and a fresh new 'do
'Cause it's time for a star who looks just like you!

[Mr. Pinky, Tracy & Edna:]
There's my shining star! Fantastic to meet you! I'm Mr. Pinky!
It's so nice to meet you
Tracy, is this your older sister?
Flattery will not distract Ms. Turnblad's agent
Fifty-four double-D?
Triple-E
I hit the motherlode!

[The Dynamites:]
Mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, mama, welcome to the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go

[Hefty Hideaway employees with Tracy:]
Don'tcha let nobody
Try to steal your fun
Cause a little touch of lipstick
Never hurt no one
The future's got a million roads
For you to choose
But you'll walk a little taller
In some high-heel shoes
And once you find the style
That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new
Step on out
Hear us shout
Mama, that's your cue!

[Edna with Hefty Hideaway employees:]
Hey, Tracy, hey, baby, look at me
I'm the cutest chickie that ya ever did see
Hey, Tracy, hey, baby, look at us
Where is there a team that's half as fabulous?
I let go, go, go of the past now
Said hello to this red carpet ride
Yes I know that the world's spinning fast now
Tell Lollabrigida to step aside

[Edna & The Dynamites:]
Your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (*yodeling*)
Oh your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go

[The Dynamites:]
Welcome to the sixties
Open the door for the girl who has more
She's a star, Tracy, go, go, go

[Chorus & Tracy & Edna:]
(Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties) Your mama's hip (Hip)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Your mama's hip (Hip, Mama)
Your mama's looking at herself and wondering, "where you been?" (Where you been?)
(Oh, mama, welcome to the sixties) Ya mama's lit (lit), she's all aglow
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (Go, Mama!)
(Go, Mama, go, go, go) Your mama's hip, she's holding back, now Mama's gotta let go, go, go (go, go, go!)
(Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties)

(Oh, Mama, welcome to the sixties, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Welcome to the six to the O to the apostrophe S, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, ye-ye-ye-yeah, ye-ye-ye-yeah, ye-yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey, Mama, welcome to the sixties, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, whooo

Go, Mama, go, go, go
