[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
Hey mama, hey mama
Look around
Everybody's groovin' to a brand-new sound
Hey mama, hey mama
Follow me
I know something's in ya
That you wanna set free
So let go, go, go of the past now
Say hello to the love in your heart
Yes, I know that the world's spinning fast now
You gotta get yourself a brand-new start
[Chorus]
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
[Bridge]
Ha, ha, ha, oh, mama
[Chorus]
Welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey mama, hey mama
Take my hand
First, let's take a pit stop at the Weiner stand
[Verse 3]
Hey mama, hey mama
Take a chance
Oh Tracy, it's been years
Since someone asked me to dance
[Verse 4]
So let go, go, go
Of the past now
Say hello
To the light in your eyes
Yes, I know that the world's spinning fast now
But you gotta run the race to win the prize
[Chorus]
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
[Chorus]
Welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey mama
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Welcome to the rhythm of a brand-new day
Take your old-fashioned fears
And just throw them away
You should add some color and a fresh new "do"
'Cause it's time for a star
Who looks |ust like you
Who me?
[Verse 6]
Don't you let nobody
Try to steal your fun
'Cause a little touch of lipstick
Never hurt no one
[Verse 7]
The future's got a million roads
For you to choose
But you'll walk a little taller
In some high-heeled shoes
[Verse 8]
And once you find the style
That makes you feel like you
Somethin' fresh
Somethin' new
Step on out
Hear us shout
Mama, that's your cue
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Mama!
[Verse 9]
Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at me
I'm the cutest chickie
That ya ever did see
[Verse 10]
Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at us
Where is there a team
That's half as fabulous?
[Verse 11]
I let go, go, go of the past now (I let go, go, go)
Said hello to this red carpet ri-i-ide (Said Hello)
Yes, I know that the world's spinnin' fast now
Tell Lollobrigida to step aside
[Chorus]
Your mama's welcoming the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, your mama's welcoming the 60's
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go
[Chorus]
Welcome to the 60's
Open the door
For the girl who has more
She's a star
Tracy, go, go, go
[Chorus]
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh mama, welcome to the 60's
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go
[Chorus]
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Welcome to the "6", to the "0"
To the apostrophe "s"
Hey-yey-yey, yeah-eah (Hey mama, welcome to the 60's)
Whoa-oa-oa-whoa, yeah, ya-yeah, ya-ye-ye-ye-yeah,ya-ye-ye-ye-yeah, ya-yeah, ya-yeah, ya-ye-eh-ah
Hey mama, welcome to the 60's
Eh-aheh, ye-ah, ye-eah-yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh
Go mama, go, go, go
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go mama, go, go, go!
