Save Your Applause ’Til The End Lyrics by Christine Ebersole

Hairspray (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Collector’s Edition]

2007

Look at that mess, at her hair, at that dress
Won't somebody please tell me that she’s just a joke not a trend
She just won one battle, one day in the sun
But I can assure you the war's just begun
Let me sharpen my claws and save your applause til the end
Look at her size, 5 by 5 and thats just her thighs
Though Im known to be coy there are some things I cannot defend
She's a blackhead, a pimple that must be expelled
A standard of beauty that must be upheld
Oooh and aw at her flaws and save your applause til the end

People like her should be heard but not seen
God knows I dont want it on my tv screen
You could say im a biggot but it just isnt true
Look I love Sammy Davis and he’s black and a Jew

She's just a freak with that sideshow phisique
Sure I cried all through dumbo
But this look I can't comprehend
So the curtains come up on her big derier
And when it decends they'll be blood everywhere
So get out the gauze and save your applause til the end
Break
She's big from the back and she's huge from the front
Are we on cannon camera ok where is Ellen Funt?
Oh my God! She has paws. So save your applause til the end

She's like the titanic she's headed for ice
Oh Velma your bad, wanna say something nice?
She’d be a hit in the jungle yes that much seems clear
Some poor cannibal family could eat for a year!
Look at this scene, kids it’s not halloween
Sure, feel bad for a girl who has only a book or a friend
But baltimore could be chicago right now
Just think of what happened from that little cow
Time to break a few laws and save your applause til the end
To the end
To the end
AHAHAHAHA
