Hairspray (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2002

[WOMEN]
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
How'd I get in this slammer
This cooler
This big dollhouse?
[MATRON, spoken]
Alright, ladies, welcome to the big dollhouse
For those of you new to the Baltimore Women's House of Detention
Think of me as a mother who eats her young!
[VELMA]
Locked up with all these
Lowlife women
[EDNA]
And horizontal stripes
Ain't exactly slimmin'
[AMBER]
Is there anybody here
Who can dry clean my blouse?
[MATRON]
It's the maid's day off
[ALL]
In the big dollhouse
[LITTLE INEZ]
Lady justice
Where have you gone?
[EDNA]
Oh, Wilbur, check
I think I left the iron on!
[VELMA]
Did you see Corny laughing?
I could murder that louse!
[MATRON]
Honey, that'll getcha life
[HOOKERS]
In the big dollhouse
[ALL]
Big house!
[VELMA]
Locked up here in the pen
[ALL]
Big house!
[AMBER]
No phone!
[EDNA]
No food!
[MOTORMOUTH]
No men!
[EDNA]
I need a conjugal visit
From my loving spouse
[MATRON]
Honey, just drop the soap
[ALL]
In the big dollhouse
*Chattering*
[EDNA]
Yoo-hoo
My stomach's a little sour
I haven't had food
In over a hour
[MATRON]
You just had a pizza
Six burgers, a mouse!
[ALL]
There's no food left
In the big dollhouse
[VELMA]
Hey, Matron, I have got to complain
[HOOKER]
Mira, Mami, don't I know you from 1st and Main?
[VELMA]
Ah, call my shysters
Lipshitz and Strauss
I gotta get sprung
From the big dollhouse
[ALL]
Big house!
[LITTLE INEZ]
No fair!
[EDNA]
No food!
[PENNY]
No fun!
[ALL]
Big house!
[MOTORMOUTH]
And our fight had just begun
'Cause it's freedom's flame
Velma'd like to douse
So we must break out of this
[ALL]
Big dollhouse
*Chattering*
[TRACY]
Penny, I can't take
All of this waiting
I've lost my man
Plus, my hair's deflating!
[PENNY]
Well, Tracy
I hate to grumble or grouse
[ALL]
But it's your fault that we're in
This big dollhouse!
[BEATNIK CHICK]
Hey, cool it, ladies
No need to shout
And don't ya got an old man
To bail you out?
[VELMA]
Ha, her daddy's a pervert
A loser, a souse!
[EDNA]
Well, it's just us girls
In the big dollhouse
[ALL]
Big house!
[AMBER]
God, I'm too young to fry!
[ALL]
Big house!
[EDNA]
I'm busting out!
[MOTORMOUTH]
Girl, so am I!
[ALL]
Lady justice, hear my plea
'Cause the big dollhouse
The big dollhouse
The big dollhouse
Ain't big enough for me!
For me!
For me!
[EDNA]
For me!
