Welcome to the 60’s Songtext
von Original Television Cast of Hairspray LIVE!

EDNA
Tracy, I haven′t left this house
In, in years

TRACY
Then isn't it time you did?

EDNA
Oh no Tracy
You have your father meet with him
I don′t wanna be seen like this
The neighboors haven't seen me
Since I was a size 10
Don't make me do it Tracy

TRACY
Ma, it′s changing out there
You′ll like it!
People who are different
Their time is coming.


TRACY
Hey mama hey mama,
Look around
Everybody's groovin′ to a brand new sound
Hey mama hey mama,
Follow me
I know something's in you
That you wanna set free
So let go, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the love in your heart
Yes, I know that the world′s spinning fast now
You gotta get yourself a brand new start

TRACY, DYNAMITES & ENSEMBLE

TRACY
Hey mama, hey mama,
Take a chance

EDNA
Oh Tracy, it′s been years
Since someone asked me to dance

TRACY
So let go, go, 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

KAMILAH
The future's got a million roads
For you to choose
But you′ll walk a little taller
In some high-heeled shoes

That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new
