[Spoken Intro]
Hey girl, whatchu doin' over there?
Can't you see? I'm sprayin' my hair!
[Verse 1]
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, when I make the scene
They're gonna stop and wonder who's that beauty queen, now
[Chorus]
(Hairspray) Well, 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
[Verse 2]
When the band is playin' loud and fast
I duck around the corner, give it one more blast
(What a gas!) Ooh! I got an inspiration
Doin' the hairspray all over the nation
[Chorus]
(Hairspray) Mama told me not to use it
(Hairspray) But if I don't, I'm gonna lose it
(Hairspray) I'm gonna rat my hair
They'll be doin' the hairspray everywhere
[Hook]

[Bridge]
(How do you do it?) You shake it, you shake that can
Teasin' up your hair with the other hand
Then you aim it, you squeeze it, press your finger down
You'll be doin' the hairspray all over town
[Spoken]
Hey girl, I have a dream when I close my eyes
I wish my hair was ten-feet high!
[Hook]
(Hairspray)
(Hairspray)
(Hairspray)
[Chorus]
(Hairspray) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Hairspray) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Hairspray) Oh-oh, oh
(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-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
(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-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh
