Hairspray Page #4

Synopsis: Tracy Turnblad, an overweight teenager with all the right moves, is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin, much to Tracy's mother Edna's dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With all of the help of her friend Seaweed, Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle and her mother Velma. Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle, her father and Edna, she's going to integrate the show.....without denting her 'do!

The Taj Mahal of joke shops.

Heh heh heh heh!

Back step, cha-cha-cha.

Side step, front step.

Back and turn.

Front step, cha-cha-cha.

Tammy, sharper.

Side step, front step.

Back, again.

Oh, my God, Penny, there's Link.

Link!

Penny, pinch me!

Ow!

You told me to.

I can't believe I'm really here auditioning.

Side step, front step.

I can't believe I'm really

here watching you audition.

Front step, cha-cha-cha.

Back step, cha-cha-cha.

Side step, front step.

Back and t-oh, Amber.

Look at this motley crew.

Oh! This town sure has gone downhill...

since I was crowned

Miss Baltimore Crabs.

Ugh.

# Oh, my God,

how times have changed #

# These girls must be blind

or completely deranged #

# But time seemed to halt #

# When I was Miss Baltimore Crabs #

Amber, that move is far too dirty.

Mother, wake up from

that dream of yours.

- This isn't 1930.

- Ha ha ha.

# You can laugh but life's a test #

# Don't do this, don't do that #

# Remember, Mother knows best #

# For the crown's in the vault #

# From when I won Miss Baltimore Crabs #

# These steps are perfect ammunition #

# Let me show you how your mommy

dear took out the competition #

Girls, go get 'em.

Boys, let's rumba.

# Those poor runner-ups might

still hold some grudges #

# They padded their cups

but I screwed the judges #

# Those broads thought

they'd win if a plate #

# They would spin in their dance #

Aah!

# Not a chance

Boys, put me down #

Oh, good morning, ladies.

Let's see what you got.

# Twist, twist, twist, twist

mashed potato, mambo #

# Ready, begin #

# On my show you'll never find #

# A thrusting hip or bump and grind #

# What's that?

A dance for fleas and ticks? #

# Oh, you should-a seen my bag of tricks #

# Oh, I hit the stage batons ablaze #

# While belting Aida

and preparing souffls #

# But that triple somersault #

# Is how I clinched

Miss Baltimore Crabs #

Proceed.

# Are you scared we're on live? #

# No, I'm sure I can cope #

# Well, this show isn't broadcast in #

# Cinemascope #

# I never drank one chocolate malt #

# No desserts for Miss Baltimore Crabs #

# This one will never get a date #

# In those hand-me-down clothes #

# Ha! Kid, she'll never get a date

till Daddy buys her a new nose #

# I would say "Oy, gevalt" #

# If I wasn't Miss Baltimore Crabs #

# Do you dance like you dress? #

# Amber, there's no need to be cruel #

# Would you swim

in an integrated pool? #

I sure would.

I'm all for integration.

It's the new frontier!

Not in Baltimore, it isn't.

And may I be frank?

# First impressions can be tough #

# And when I saw you, I knew it #

# If your size weren't enough #

# Your last answer just blew it #
