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.
