Lyrics

(Spoken)
Your daughter's good, Mrs. Denmark, and with my help, she can be great!
But childhood is a time for playing with dolls and riding a bike
(Sung)
Oh, any tyke can ride a bike
Any brat can swing a bat
Every mother's child plays with blocks
They run and skip and jump and climb on rocks
That may be true for every Dick and Jane
But some of us were born to entertain
(Spoken)
This time I'm doing it for you baby!
(Sung)
You can have it all, you've got talent
Life can be a ball if you've got talent!
When it's obvious your child's not
An average ordinary tot
Shower her with love and validation
Judy, recognize her specialties
Celebrate the fact that she's
Destined for a life, a life of adoration!
(Spoken)
Come here!
Do you like ice cream?
You bet I do!
(Sung)
Well, it's all banana splits when you've got talent
You don't have to show your tits if you've got talent
You're no silly plastic ingenue
In cheesy ads for cheap shampoo
Really, you're too good for television
(Spoken)
Really?
(Sung)
I'm talking straight, legit, I mean
The Broadway stage, the silver screen
But first, we need your mother to make the right decision
(Spoken)
I suppose some coaching can't hurt
But only after school
We start this afternoon!
I'm afraid she can't this afternoon
Today's the auditions for the school play
I'm trying out for the lead
(Sung)
It cannot be denied, you've got talent
And I'll be by your side to guide that talent
So kick up your heels and tap your toes
I'm your Auntie Mame, your Mama Rose
And nothing's gonna stop us 'till we're through
Honey, Sylvia will make your dream come true
You've got talent!
So much talent!
Baby, you'll have it all, wait and see
For along with all that talent, you've got
Your mother!
(Spoken)
Thank you!
(Sung)
And me!
