WOMEN

I gotta get out

I gotta get out

I gotta get out

How'd i get in this slammer

This cooler

This big dollhouse!

MATRON

Alright, ladies, welcome to the "Big Dollhouse!" For those of you new to the Baltimore Women's House of Detention, think of me as a mother... one who eats her young!

VELMA

Locked up with all these

Lowlife women

EDNA

And horizontal stripes

Ain't exactly slimmin'

AMBER

Is there anybody here

Who can dry clean my blouse?

MATRON

It's the maid's day off

ALL

In the big oollhouse

LI'L INEZ

Lady justice,

Where have you gone?

EDNA

Îîi, wilbur, check,

I think i left the iron on!

VELMA

Did you see corny laughing?

I could murder that louse!

MATRON

Honey, that'll getcha life

HOOKERS

In the big dollhouse

ALL

Big house!

VELMA

Locked up here in the pen

ALL

Big house!

AMBER

No phone!

EDNA

No food!

MOTORMOUTH

No men!

EDNA

I need a conjugal visit

From my loving spouse

MATRON

Honey, just drop the soap

ALL

In The Big Dollhouse

EDNA (to Matron)

Yoo hoo,

My stomach's a little sour

I haven't had food

In over an hour

MATRON

You just had a pizza,

Six burgers, a mouse!

ALL

There's no food left

In the big dollhouse

VELMA

Hey, matron,

I have got to complain

HOOKER

Mira, mami, don't i know you

From 1st and main?

VELMA

Eek, call my attorneys

Lipshitz and strauss

I gotta get sprung

From the big dollhouse

ALL

Big house!

LITTLE INEZ

No fair!

EDNA

No food!

PENNY

No fun!

ALL

Big house!

MOTORMOUTH

And our fight had just begun

'Cause it's freedom's flame

Velma'd like to douse

So we must break out of this

ALL

Big Dollhouse

TRACY

Penny, i can't take

All this waiting

I've lost my man

Plus, my hair's deflating!

PENNY

Well Tracy,

I hate to grumble or grouse

ALL (screaming at Tracy)

But it's your fault that we're in

This big dollhouse!!

BEATNIK CHICK

Hey, cool it, ladies

No need to shout

And don't ya got an old man

To bail you out?

VELMA

Ha! Her daddy's a pervert,

A loser, a souse!

EDNA (pawing Velma)

Well, it's iust us girls

In the big dollhouse

ALL

Big house!

AMBER

God, i'm too young to fry!

ALL

Big house!

EDNA

I'm busting out!

MOTORMOUTH

Girl, so am i!

'Cause the big dollhouse

The big dollhouse

Ain't big enough for me!

For me!

For me!

EDNA

For me!!!
