Welcome to the 60’s Songtext
von Marc Shaiman

Tracy I haven′t left this house in years
Then isn't it time you did
Oh no Tracy, We′ll have your father meet with him
I don't wanna be seen like this
The neighbors haven't seen me since I was a size 10
Don′t make me do it Tracy
Ma, it′s changing out there
You'll like it
People who are different, their time is coming
Hey mama hey mama,
Look around
Everybody′s groovin' to a brand new sound
Hey mama hey mama,
Follow me
1 know something′s in you
That you wanna set free
So let so, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the love in your heart
Yes, 1 know that the world's spinning fast now
You gotta get yourself a brand new start


Hey mama, welcome to the 60′s
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey mama, hey mama,
Have some fun
I haven't left this house since 1951
Hey mama, hey mama,
Take a chance
Oh Tracy, it′s been years
Since someone asked me to dance
So let go, so, go of the past now
Say hello to the light in your eyes
Yes, i know that the world′s
Spinning fast now
But you gotta run the race
To win the prize
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60′s
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(Tracy & Edna arrive at Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway
as new fans besiege Tracy for photos and autographs.)
Hey mama, welcome to the 60′s
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey mama, Hey mama,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Welcome to the rhythm of a brand new day
Take your old-fashioned fears
And just throw them away
You should add some color and a fresh new "do"
′Cause it's time for a star
Who looks |ust like you!
There's my shining star
Fantastic to meet you
I′m Mr. Pinky
It′s so nice to meet you
Tracy, is this your older sister?
Flattery will not distract Ms. Turnblad's agent
54 DD?
Triple E
I hit the motherload!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60′s
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
Dontcha let nobody
Try to steal your fun
'Cause a little touch of lipstick
Never hurt no one
The future′s got a million roads
For you to choose
But you'll walk a little taller
In some high-heeled shoes
And once you find the style
That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new
Step on out
Hear us shout
Mama, that′s your cue!!!
(Edna emerges from Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway all brand new.)
Hey Tracy, hey baby,
Look at me!
I'm the cutest chickie
That ya ever did see
Hey Tracy, hey baby,
Look at us
Where is there a team
That′s half as fabulous?!
(Tracy takes her turn in "Mr. Pinky′s".)
I let go, go. Go of the past now
Said hello to this red carpet ride
Yes I know that the world's spinning fast now
Tell lollabrigida to step aside!
Your mama′s welcome in the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh
Oh your mama′s welcome in the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go!
Open the door
For the girl who has more,
She′s a star...
Tracy, go, go, go!
(Tracy re-enters in a matching outfit.)
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
(Your mama's hip, hip)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh
(Your mama′s in, mama)
Oh mama, welcome to the 60′s
(Your mama's lookin at herself and wonderin, where you been?)
Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh
(Your mama′s late, late. She's all a glow!)
Go mama. Go, go, go!
(Now once you hold me back, your mama′s gotta let go, go, go!)
Hey mama welcome to the 60's
Welcome to the "6", to the "0"
To the apostrophe "s"!
Hey mama welcome to the 60′s
(JUDINE riffs.)
Hey mama welcome to the 60's
(SHAYNA riffs.)
ALL
Go mama go, go, go!
DYNAMITES
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh
Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!!
