Hairspray

[Spoken:]

[Girl 1:] Hey, girl! What you doin' over there?

[Girl 2:] Can't you see? I'm sprayin' my hair!

[Sung:]

Let me tell you 'bout the latest craze,

Mama's hopin' that it's just a phase.

But I know it's gonna last forever.

You gotta see the way it keeps my hair together.

I gave my dollar to the drugstore man.

I bought that magic potion in a twelve-ounce can.

Now I know that when I make the scene,

They're gonna stop and wonder, who's that beauty queen?

Now,

(Hairspray), oh, mama told me not to use it,

(Hairspray), well, if I don't I'm gonna lose it,

(Hairspray), gimme, gimme control.

(Hairspray), it's got stand-up soul.

When the band is playing loud and fast,

I duck around the corner, give it one more blast.

(What a gas!) Oh! I got an inspiration,

a-Doin' the hairspray all over the nation.

(Hairspray), mama told me not to use it.

(Hairspray), but if I don't I'm gonna lose it.

(Hairspray), I'm gonna rat [2] my hair.

They'll be doin' the hairspray everywhere.

[Instrumental break, backup singers repeat, "Hairspray."]

(How do you do it?)

You shake it, you shake that can.

Teasin' [2] up your hair with the other hand.

Then you aim it, you squeeze it, press your finger down.

You're doin' the hairspray all over town.

[Spoken:]

[Girl 1:] Hey, girl, I have a dream when I close my eyes.

I wish my hair was ten feet high!

[Instrumental break, backup singers repeat,

"Hairspray," and vocal stylings by Rachel Sweet.]

(Hairspray), well, mama told me not to use it, now.

(Hairspray), but if I don't I'm gonna lose it.

(Hairspray), Just gimme, gimme control.

Oh-wo, woh, oh, oh, oh.

(Hairspray), well, mama told me not to use it, now.

(Hairspray), but if I don't I'm gonna lose it.

[Fade.]

(Hairspray), Just gimme, gimme control.

Oh-wo, woh, oh, oh, oh.
