Everybody's groovin' to a brand new sound

You gotta get yourself a brand new start

At the wiener stand

Hey mama, hey mama,
Take a chance

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

Say hello to the light in your eyes

Spinning fast now
But you gotta run the race
To win the prize

(Tracy & Edna arrive at Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway
as new fans besiege Tracy for photos and autographs.)

DYNAMITES
Welcome to the rhythm of a brand new day

TRACY
Take your old-fashioned fears

TRACY & DYNAMITES
And just throw them away

MR. PINKY'S STAFF
You should add some color and a fresh new "do"

DYNAMITES & ENSEMBLE
'Cause it's time for a star
Who looks |ust like you!

JUDINE
Dontcha let nobody
Try to steal your fun
'Cause a little touch of lipstick
Never hurt no one

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

SHAYNA
And once you find the style
That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new

DYNAMITES & ENSEMBLE
Step on out
Hear us shout

TRACY, DYNAMITES & ENSEMBLE
Mama, that's your cue!!!

ENSEMBLE
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

(Edna emerges from Mr. Pinky's Hefty Hideaway all brand new.)

EDNA
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".)

EDNA (& ENSEMBLE)
I let go, go. Go of the past now
Said hello to this red carpet ride
Yes 1 know that the world's spinning fast now
Tell lollabrigida to step aside!

EDNA & ENSEMBLE
Your mama's welcoming the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh
Oh your mama's welcoming the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
