Nikki Blonsky, Ricki Lake and Marissa Jaret Winokur - Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now

Stop, stop telling me what to do-o
Don't, don't treat me like a child of two-o
No, I know that you want what's best
Please, but mother please give it a rest

Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Mama, I'm a big girl now

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
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Once upon a time I used to play with toys
But now I'd rather play around with older boys
So if I get a hicky please don't have a cow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt
I get my best dancing lessons from yo-ou
You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout
Because you shout non-stop and you're so twisted to-o
Ooh

Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home
But now I'm just like Gidget, and I gotta get to Rome
So say arrivederci, toodle-loo, and ciao
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now, whoa

Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Mama, I'm a big girl now

Hey mama
Say mama

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
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now

Whoa, 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
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now, ooh

Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong
And now I just wanna give it a try
Mama, I'm been in a nest for far to long
So please give a push and mama watch me fly
Watch me fly

Show off

Some day I will meet a man you won't condemn
And we will have some kids and you can torture them
But let me be a star before I take that vow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now, whoa

Mama, I'm a big girl now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Mama, I'm a big girl
Ooh, such a big big girl (woo)

I'm a big girl now, whoa (Stop, don't, no, please)
(Stop, don't, no, please) whoa
(Stop, don't, no, please)
Mama, I'm a big girl now

(Go Ricki, go Ricki, go Ricki)
(Guys)
(Go Ricki, go Ricki, go Ricki)
