MOMS
Stop!

NIKKI
Stop telling me what to do!

MOMS
Don't!

RICKI
Don't treat me like a child of two

MOM
NO!

MARISSA
I know that you want what's best

MOMS
Please!

NIKKI
But mother, please

GIRLS
Give it a rest!

ALL
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
Stop! Don't! No! Please!
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!

GIRLS
Mama, I'm a big girl now!
