Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way I always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
That I can't eat
Then I hear that beat
That rhythm of town
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
High above
Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
Streets that I love
Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
What do can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street
All dance round my feet
They seem to say
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step
I know every song
I know there's a place where I belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before I drop dead!
(Before she drops dead!)
So, oh, oh
Give me a chance
'Cause when I start to dance I'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move
When I hear the groove
My ma tells me no
But my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
So oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start
(Good morning, good morning)
(Waiting for my life to start)
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
And I promise Baltimore
That some day when
I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
(Yes, more or less we all agree)
Baltimore and me
(Someday the world is gonna see)
Baltimore and me!

The Nicest Kids in Town
by James Marsden
[ Featuring the Council Members ]
Hey there, teenage Baltimore!
Don't change that channel!
'Cause it's time for the Corny Collins Show!
Brought to you by
Ultra Clutch Hairspray! (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, rvery afternoon
When the clock strikes four
(Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)
A crazy bunch of kids
Crash through that door, yeah
(Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)
Go and throw off their coats
And leave the squares behind
And then they shake it, shake it, shake it
Like they're losing their mind
You'll never see them frown
'Cause they're the nicest kids in town
(Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
Oh, every afternoon
You turn your TV On, huh
(Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)
Yeah, we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah
(Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na)
Then you twist and shout
For your favorite star
And when you've practiced every step
That's in your repertoire
You better come on down
And meet the nicest kids in town, woo
Nice white kids
Who like to lead the way
And once a month
We have our "Negro day!"
And I'm the man who keeps it spinnin' 'round
Mr. Corny Collins
With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!(Woo)
So every afternoon
Drop everything, woo
(Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)
Who needs to read and write
When you can dance and sing? Yeah
(Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)
Forget about your algebra
And calculus
You can always do your homework
On the morning bus
Can't tell a verb from a noun
They're the nicest kids in town
(Ooh)
Roll call!
I'm Amber, Brad, Tammy, Fender, Brenda
Sketch, Shelley, IQ, Lou Ann, Joey
Mickey, Vicki, Becky, Nick, Jesse
Carla, Polly, Maureen, Doreen
And I'm Link
So, if every night you're shaking
As you lie in bed
(Pony pony, ooh, pony pony) shake it baby
And the bass and drums
Are pounding in your head
(Pony pony, ooh, pony pony)
Who cares about sleep
When you can snooze in school?
You'll never get to college
But you're sure look cool
Don't need a cap and a gown
When you're the nicest kids in town
Yeah, they're the nicest, nicest
They're the nicest, nicest
They're the sugar 'n spicest
Nicest kids in
Kids in town, woo!

It Takes Two
by Zac Efron
(It takes two)
They say it's a man's world
Well that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by your side
And so I will wait
Until that moment you decide
That I'm your man
And you're my girl
That I'm the sea
And you're the pearl
It takes two, baby
It takes two
A king ain't a king
Without the power behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe
Without a chick to call his own
So please darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me
I'm your king
And you're my queen
That no one else
Can come between
It takes two, baby
It takes two
(Don't you know)
Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old st. Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick
They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away
Just like Frankie Avalon
Had his favorite Mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe
To say the things I long to hear
So come closer baby
Oh and whisper in my ear
Tell me, you're my girl (you're my girl)
And I'm your boy (I'm your boy)
That you're my pride (you're my pride)
And I'm your joy (I'm your joy)
That I'm the sand (I'm the sand)
And you're the tide (you're the tide)
I'll be the groom (be the groom)
If you'll be my bride (be my bride)
It takes two, baby (It takes two)
It takes two (It takes two)
It takes two, baby
It takes two
They say it's a man's world
Well that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by your side
And so I will wait
Until that moment you decide
That I'm your man
And you're my girl
That I'm the sea
And you're the pearl
It takes two, baby

A king ain't a king

A prince is a pauper, babe
Without a chick to call his own
So please darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone
Tell me

And you're my queen
That no one else

(The Legend Of) Miss Baltimore Crabs
by Michelle Pfeiffer
[ Featuring the Council Members ]
Front step, cha-cha-cha, back step cha-cha-cha
Side step, front step, back, and turn
Oh my god, penny, there's Link, Link!
I can't believe I'm really here auditioning!
I can't believe I'm really here watching you audition!
Front step, cha-cha-cha, back step cha-cha-cha
Side step, front step, back, and tu-
Oh, amber, look at this motly crew!
Oh, this town has sure gone downhill since I was crowned miss
Oh, mother not more ancient history
Oh my God, how times have changed
These girl's either blind
Or completely deranged
But time seemed to halt
When I was, "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
Amber, that move is far too dirty
Mother, wake up from that dream of yours, this isn't 1930
You can laugh, but life's a test
Don't do this, don't do that
Remember, mother knows best
For the crown's in the vault
From when I won "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
These steps are perfect ammunition
Let me show you how your mommy dear took out the competition
Girls, go get 'em
Boys, let's rumba
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Those poor runner-ups
Might still hold some grudges
They padded their cups, but I screwed the judges
Those broads thought they'd win
If a plate they would spin in their dance
Ha, not a chance
Boys, put me down
Oh, good morning ladies
Let's see what you got
Twist, twist, twist, twist
Mashed potato, mambo
Ready? Begin
On my show you'll never find
A thrusting hip or bumping grind
What's that, a dance for fleas and ticks?
Oh you should have seen my bag of tricks
Oh, I hit the stage, batons ablaze
While belting Aida and preparing soufflés
But that triple somersault
Is how I clinched, "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
Proceed
Are you scared we're on live?
No, I'm sure I can cope
Well, this show isn't broadcast in
Cinemascope
I never drank one chocolate malt
No desserts for "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
This one will never get a date in those hand me down clothes
Ha, kid she'll never get a date 'til daddy buys her a new nose
I would say "Oy Gevalt"
If I wasn't "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
Do you dance like you dress?
Amber, there's no need to be cruel
Would you swim in an integrated pool?
I sure would, I'm all for integration
It's the new frontier
Not in Baltimore it isn't
And may I be frank
First impressions can be tough
And when I saw you, I knew it
If your size weren't enough
Your last answer just blew it
And so, my dear, so short and stout
You'll never be in
So we're kicking you out
With your form and your face
Oh, but it isn't your fault
You're just down with a case of "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
Eh, you may go
Um, thank you?
I think they secretly liked you
May I please audition?
Of course not
But you may bow and exalt
'Cause I am "Miss Baltimore Crabs"
Crabs, crabs, crabs

I Can Hear the Bells

Well, don't cha hear 'em chime?
Can't 'cha feel my heartbeat keeping perfect time?

He looked at me and stared, yes he
Bumped me
My heart was unprepared when he
Tapped me

Nudged me
Love put me in a fix, yes it
Hit me
Just like a ton of bricks, yes my
Heart burst
Now I know what life's about
One little touch
And love's knocked me out and
I can hear the bells
My head is spinning
I can hear the bells
Something's beginning
Everybody says
That a girl who looks like me
Can't win his love
Well, just wait and see 'cause

Just hear them chiming

The New Girl in Town
by Brittany Snow
Hey, look out for that moving van
Driving down our streets
You better lock up your man
Before he meets
The new girl in town
Who just came on the scene
The new girl in town
Can't be more than sixteen
And she's got a way of makin'
A boy act like a clown
Wo-oo, wo-oo ,wo-oo, wo-oo
We don't know what to do
'Bout the next girl in town
The new girl in town
Seems to dance on air
The new girl in town
She's got the coolest hair
You better tell the homecoming queen
To hold on to her crown
Wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo
Or she's gonna lose it to
The new girl in town
She's hip, so cool
I'm gonna get her after school
And yet we'd like to be like her
'Cause she's the kitten
That the cats prefer
Ladies, step aside
The new girl in town
Has my guy on a string
The new girl in town
Hey, look she's wearing his ring
I can't stop crying and so
In my own tears I'm gonna drown
Wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo
'Cause he wants to rendezvous
With the new girl
We're kinda sad and blue
Yes, it's true girl
We'd like to say
To the new girl in town
The new girl in town
Wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo
From out of the blue girl
This town's in a stew girl
What a hullabaloo girl
She ain't just passing through girl
She's sticking like glue girl
To the man I though I knew girl
Wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo, wo-oo
Hey, look out for that moving van
Look out, look out, look out, look out
She was the new girl in town

Run and Tell That
by Elijah Kelley
[ Featuring Taylor Parks ]
Hey, I can't see why people look at me
And only see the color of my face, oh yeah
And then there's those that try to help, god knows
But have to always put me in my place
But I won't ask you to be color blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit, then girl, you're sure to find
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now baby, run and tell that
Run and tell that (ah sugar)
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Hey yeah, I can't see why people disagree
Each time I tell them what I know is true, no no
And if you come and see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it too, Yeah
Now, I could lie but baby, let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice but if the truth be told
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Oh, baby, baby, run and tell that (woo)
Run and tell that (oh sugar)
Go run and tell that
Run and tell that
Go on, and run and tell that
Run and tell that (hey, yeah, yeah)
Run and tell, go tell
Run and tell (get moving baby)
Run and tell that
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, woo, woo-ooh
(Come here girl)
(This is my sister, Li'l Inez)
(Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad, good for you, you got on the show
(Well, you better be next)
(You got that right)
(Oh, you know she is)
(You better show up, girl)
I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
So give me five on the black-hand side
I got a new way of movin' and I got my own voice
So how can I help but to shout and rejoice
Oh, the people 'round here can barely pay their rent
They're tryin' to make dollar out a fifteen cent
But we got a spirit money just cant buy
It's deep as a river and soars to the sky, to the sky
Hey, I can't see the reason it cant be
The kinda world where we all get our chance, ah yeah
The time is now, so we can show them how
Just turn the music up and let's all dance, yeah
'Cause all things are equal when it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true 'cause when push comes to shove
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
Now that's where it's at
Now baby, baby, baby run and tell that (that's where it's at you better)
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that (ah baby)
Go run and tell that
(Go) run and tell that
Run and tell that
That, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah hey, woo

Big Blonde And Beautiful
by Queen Latifah
[ Featuring The Negro Day Kids ]
Once upon a time
Girl I was just like you
Never let my extra large
Largesse shine through
Hair was brown and nappy
Never had no fun
I hid under a bushel
Which is easier said than done!
Then one day my grandma
Who was big and stout
She said you gotta love yourself
From inside out
And just as soon as I learned
How to strut my funky stuff
I found out that the world at large
Can't get enough so...
Bring on that pecan pie
Pour some sugar on it
Sugar don't be shy
Scoop me up a mess
Of that chocolate swirl
Don't be stingy,
I'm a growing girl
I offer big love
With no apology
How can I deny the world
The most of me
I am not afraid
To throw my weight around
Pound by pound by pound
Because I'm
Big, blonde and beautiful
There is nothin' 'bout me
That's unsuitable
No one wants a meal
That only offers the least
When girl we're servin' up
The whole damn feast
Slice off a piece
Of that hog head cheese
Then take a look inside
My book of recipes
Now, don't you sniff around
For something fluffy and light
I need a man who brings
A man-size... Appetite
I'll use a pinch of sugar
And a dash of spice
I'll let ya lick the spoon
Because it tastes so nice
I'll keep it in my oven
'Til it's good and hot
Keep on stirring til it hits the spot
Because I'm...
Big, blonde and beautiful
And Edna girl, you're lookin' so
Recruitable
Why sit in the bleachers
Timid and afraid
When Edna,
You can be your own parade!
[TRACY:]
So? How 'bout it, Mama?
[EDNA:]
Well, I am big, I am blonde... ish, and if you say
I'm beautiful, I guess I'm beautiful. OK, I'll do it!
[ALL:]
Yeaaa!
Look out old Baltimore
We're marching in
'And we ain't shufflin'
Through that old back door
[EDNA:]
And Tracy, I will join the fight
If I can keep up this pace
[WILBUR:]
And girls, I'll be right at your side
If I can find some space
[MOTORMOUTH:]
So you can
Hold your head up
Just as big as ya please
You know they'll hear me knockin'
With the two of these!
[MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE:]
Tomorrow, side by side
We'll show the world what's right
[EDNA:]
Looks like I'm touchin' up my roots tonight!
[MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE:]
Then we'll be
Big, blonde and beautiful
It's time to face the fact
It's irrefutable
Can't ya hear that rumbling?
That's our hunger to be free
It's time to fin'ly taste
Equality
[COUNCIL MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS:]
On mother/daughter day
Where thin is in,
We're white as wool
[MOTORMOUTH:]
Well ladies, big is back!
And as for black, it's...
[MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE:]
... Beautiful!
[MOTORMOUTH:]
All shapes and sizes, follow me
[EDNA:]
Let's bust their chops!
[VELMA:]
Quick, cali the cops!
[MOTORMOUTH & PROTESTERS:]
We're gonna dance our way to victory!
And get us on TV!
[PROTESTERS:]
2... 4... 6... 8... TV'S got to integrate!
[COUNCIL MEMBERS:]
Stay away! This isn't Negro Day!
[Police sirens wail. Whistles blow. As the protesters continue their march, they are loaded into the addy wagon.]
[MOTORMOUTH:]
You bet I'm big!
[EDNA (pulling on Velmas hair):]
This blond is gray!
[LINK:]
Tracy, this was beautiful!
[MOTORMOUTH:]
Big, blonde, and beautiful leads the way!
[ENSEMBLE:]
No one's getting on TV today!

Big, Blonde and Beautiful (Reprise)
by John Travolta
[ Featuring Michelle Pfeiffer ]
[VELMA & EDNA]
Those lips, those eyes, that food
Well, there ain't nothin' like a spread to get ya in the mood
Wilbur, can't you feel the burning flame of hot desire?
You're gonna need more than some seltzer to put out this fire
[VELMA & EDNA]
I'm wailing, look out old Baltimore
I'm selling something you can't purchase at a ten cent store
Oh Wilbur, I feel like a princess, come on take me to the ball
I bet you're tired of heavy lifting, get your hands on something small
[VELMA, EDNA, VELMA & EDNA]
Because I'm big, blonde, and beautiful
It's time to face the facts, it's irrefutable
Why waste one more minute, now I feel brand spankin' new
Hey Wilbur, take a look, it's all for
You
You?

(You're) Timeless to Me
by John Travolta
[ Featuring Christopher Walken ]
[WILBUR]
Styles keep a-changin', the world's rearrangin'
But Edna, you're timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter, a beer costs a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free
You're like a stinky old cheese, babe
Just getting riper with age
You're like a fatal disease, babe
But there's no cure so let this fever rage
Some folks can't stand it, say time is a bandit
But I take the opposite view
'Cause when I need a lift, time brings a gift
Another day with you
A twist or a waltz, it's all the same schmaltz
With just a change in the scenery
You'll never be old hat, that's that
You're timeless to me
[EDNA, spoken]
Oh, Wilbur, I love you
[EDNA]
Fads keep a-fading, Castro's invading
But Wilbur, you're timeless to me
Hairdos are higher, mine feels like barbed wire
But you say I'm chic as can be
[WILBUR & EDNA]
Some folks don't get it but we never fret it
'Cause we know that time is our friend
Yeah, it's plain to see that you're stuck with me
Until the bitter end
And we got a kid who's blowing the lid
Off the Turnblad family tree
[EDNA]
You'll always hit the spot, big shot
You're timeless to me
[WILBUR]
You'll always be du jour, mon amour
You're timeless to me
[EDNA]
You'll always be first string
[WILBUR]
Ring a ding ding
[WILBUR & EDNA]
You're timeless to me
[EDNA]
You're timeless to me
[WILBUR]
You're timeless to me

I Know Where Ive Been
by Queen Latifah
There's a light in the darkness
Though the night is black as my skin
There's a light burning bright showing me the way
But I know where I've been
There's a cry in distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry asking why
I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah
'Cause I know where I've been
There's a road we've been travellin'
Lost so many on the way
But the riches will be plenty
Worth the price, the price we had to pay
There's a dream (dream) with the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do
And I know where I've been, yeah
There's a road (there's a road) we must travel (we must travel)
There's a promise (there is a promise) we must make (that we must make)
But the riches (oh, but the riches) will be plenty
(The riches will be plenty, yeah)
Worth the risk (worth the risk) and the chances we take (and the chances we take)
There's a dream, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah with the future
There's a struggle (struggle) that we have yet to win (we have yet to win)
Use that pride (pride) in our hearts (in our hearts)
To lift us up (lift us up) up to tomorrow (ooh)
'Cause just to sit still would be a sin
I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going
Lord knows, I know
Where I've been
(Know where I've been)
I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been, yeah, yeah

Without Love
by Zac Efron
[LINK]
Once I was a selfish fool
Who never understood
Never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, I looked good!
Then we met and you made me
The man I am today
Tracy, I'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
[LINK & TRACY]
'Cause without love
[LINK]
Life is like the seasons with no summer
[LINK & TRACY]
Without love
[LINK]
Life is rock 'n' roll without a drummer
Tracy, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free
[LINK & TRACY]
No, I ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy
No, no, no!
[SEAWEED]
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere you go
Who'd've thought I'd love a girl
Whose skin was white as winter snow?
[PENNY]
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now I've tasted chocolate
And I'm never going back
[SEAWEED & PENNY]
'Cause without love
[SEAWEED]
Life is like a beat that you can't follow
[SEAWEED & PENNY]
Without love
[PENNY]
Life is Doris Day at the Apollo
[SEAWEED & PENNY]
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
[PENNY]
Without love
[SEAWEED]
So, darlin', never set me free, no
[SEAWEED & PENNY]
Oh, I'm yours forever
Never set me free
No, no, no!
[LINK]
If I'm left without my baby doll
I don't know what I'll do
[TRACY]
Link, I've got to break out
So that I can get my hands on you
[SEAWEED]
Oh, oh-oh, oh girl, if I can't touch you
Then I'm gonna lose control
[PENNY]
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul
[SEAWEED]
Sweet freedom is our goal!
[LINK]
Trace, I wanna kiss ya!
[TRACY]
Let me out at the next toll!
[ALL]
Without love
[SEAWEED]
Life is like a prom that won't invite us
[ALL]
Without love
[LINK]
It's like getting my big break and laryngitis
[ALL]
Without love
[PENNY]
Life's a '45 when you can't buy it
[ALL]
Without love
[TRACY]
Life is like my mother on a diet!
[ALL]
Like a week that's only Mondays
Only ice cream, never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "Do not enter!"
Darlin', I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
[SEAWEED & PENNY]
Yes, now you've captured me
[ALL]
Without love
[LINK & TRACY]
I surrender happily
[ALL & PENNY]
Without love
Seaweed never set me free
No, no, no
No, I ain't lying
Never set me free
No, no, no
No I don't wanna live
Without love (Love, love)
Darlin', you have best believe me
Never leave me without love

It's the Corny Collins Miss Hairspray Spectacular!

Then your flip will be gone with the wind (ooh)
But if you spray it and lock it, you can take off in a rocket
And in outer space each hair will be in place
(Ooh) Why take a chance when you get up and dance?
If you twist, I insist you use hairspray
And tell your mother (ooh) her head she should smother
With Ultra Clutch faithfully
So if you're a redhead, a blond or brunette
Just take my advice and you might just get (you might just ooh)
The only thing better than hairspray, that's me!

You Can't Stop the Beat
by Nikki Blonsky
[Tracy]
You can't stop an avalanche as it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl, but you know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancing feet, but I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way
[Tracy & Link]
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she shook it, she could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna, but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That you can't stop the beat
[Penny, Seaweed, Both]
You can't stop a river as it rushes to the sea
You can try and stop the hands of time but you know it just can't be
And if they try to stop us, Seaweed
I'll call the N, double-A, CP
'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round)
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound (Speed of sound, yeah)
I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way
[Penny & Seaweed]
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it on a Saturday night
So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
Cause you can't stop the beat
[Edna with Ensemble]
You can't stop my happiness, 'cause I like the way I am
And you just can't stop my knife and fork when I see a Christmas ham
So if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn
'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way
[Edna & Company]
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this whole world began
A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it the best that I can today
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna, but I never ask why
And if you try to hold me down I'm gonna spit in your eye
And say
That you can't stop the beat
[Interlude]
[Maybell with Ensemble]
Oh, oh, oh
You can't stop today (No), as it comes speeding down the track (Ooh)
Child, yesterday is history and it's never coming back
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black (Yeah)
'Cause the world keeps spinning 'round and 'round
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the drums then I found my way
[Maybell & Company]
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it on a Saturday night
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today
'Cause you can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
They can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat
[Ensemble]
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
[Ensemble]
Ever since we first saw the sun
A man and woman liked to shake it when the day is done
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it and have some fun for today
You can't stop the motion of the ocean or the rain from above
You can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
You can't stop the beat
[Ensemble]
You can't stop the beat

Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)
by Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, Nikki Blonsky and Elijah Kelley
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey old friend let's look back
On the crazy clothes we wore
Ain't it fun to look back
And to see it's all been done before
All those nights together
Are a special memory
And I can't wait for tomorrow
Just as long as you're dancing next to me
'Cause it's so clear every year we get stronger (stronger)
What's gone is gone, the past is the past
Turn the radio up and then hit the gas 'cause
I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'till it's time to go
So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go
Ah yeah, hey yeah, uh-huh
Hey old friend together
Side by side and year by year
The road was filled with twists and turns
Oh, but that's the road that got us here
Let's move past the bad times
But before those memories fade
Let's forgive but not forget
And learn from the mistakes we made
'Cause it's so clear every year we get stronger (stronger)
So don't give up and don't say when
And just get back on the road again 'cause
I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'til it's time to go
So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go
Oh oh-oh-oh, oh yeah, yeah yeah, oh oh oh
Hey old friend come along for this ride (yeah)
There's plenty of room so jump inside (jump inside)
The highway's rocky every now and then (yeah yeah)
But it's so much better then where I've been (oh)
Just keep movin' at your own speed (yeah, yeah)
Your heart is all the compass you'll ever need (it's all you'll need)
Let's keep cruisin' the road we're on
'Cause the rear view mirror only shows what's gone, gone, gone
Yeah yeah, oh yeah
We got so far to go (yeah)
Oh, it's so clear every year we get stronger (stronger)
So shine that light, take my hand
Let's dance into the promise land 'cause
I know we've come so far
But we've got so far to go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'til it's time to go
So most days we'll take it fast
And some nights we'll take it slow
I know we've come so far
But baby, baby we've got so far to go
But baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh (yeah yeah)
(Welcome to the '60s)
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh
Baby, baby we've got so far to go
Baby, baby, ooh (I've got so far to go)
Baby, baby we've got so far to go (oh, yeah yeah)

Cooties
by Aimee Allen
They came from way far out in outer space
She's hard to miss
And so they landed on her face
She's got cooties
They've found a place to nest (she's got cooties, cooties)
If I were her I'd be depressed
Long tailed, sharp nailed
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs
"Oh no, get 'em away!"
In science class she's like a walking show-and-tell
Her pet skunk ran away 'cause it couldn't take the smell
She's got cooties (cooties)
Nobody wants to sit by her (she's got cooties, cooties)
No, I don't need a coat
'Cause she's got fur
Circle, circle, dot, dot, dot
Glad I got my cootie shot
Come on boys, let's stamp 'em out
Cootie, cootie
Come on boys
Cootie, cootie
Cootie, cootie
Come on boys
Oh, no no no (she's got cooties)
She's just as friendly as can be (she's got cooties)
She shows them cootie hospitality (she's got cooties)
She's like a living Twilight Zone (she's got cooties)
Quick, uh, can you get Rod Sterling on the phone?"
Black, white, red, green
Every color in between
Dresses like a circus clown
Somebody oughta hose her down
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too
She's coming
She's got cooties
Somebody ought to hose her down
She's got cooties
Oh yeah, woo
She's got cooties
Somebody ought to hose her down
She's got cooties
Yeah, yeah (she's got cooties)
She's just as friendly as can be (she's got cooties)
She shows them cootie hospitality (she's got cooties)
This girlie's sure to catch your eye (she's got cooties)
She surely likes to let her freak flag fly
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)

Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now
by Ricki Lake
(Stop) Stop telling me what to do
(Don't) Don't treat me like a child of two
(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 teenaged boys
So if I get a hickey, please don't have a cow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
Am I gonna tell you? Not 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, ohhhh
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
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
Woah, 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
My, you always taught me what was right from wrong
And now I just wanna give it a try
Mama, I've been in you've asked me far too long
So please give a push and Mama watch me fly
Watch me fly...
(Show off)
Someday I will be the man you won't condemn
And we will have some kids, so you can torture them
But let me be a star before I take that vow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now, woah-oh-oh
Mama, I'm a big girl, hey, hey, hey
Mama, I'm a big girl
(Ooh, such a big, big girl)
I'm a big girl now
Stop, don't, no, please
Stop, don't, no, please
Stop, don't, no, please
Mama, I'm a big girl now
