Don’tcha let nobody try to steal your fun,
’Cause a little touch of lipstick never hurt no one
The future’s got a million roads for you to choose,
But you’ll walk a little taller in some high heel shoes
And once you find a style that makes you feel like you,
Something fresh, something new

Hairspray quotes
Page 1 of 3Girl, if I can’t touch you
Then I’m gonna lose control
Hey little girl lookin' for a sale,
Test drive this American male
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank,
So let's crack open your piggy bank!
Once I was a selfish fool who never understood
I never looked inside myself,
But on the outside, I looked good!
I’m tired of coverin’ up all my pride!
(So give me five on the black-hand side) I’ve got a new way of movin’
And I've got my own voice!
(So how can I help,
But to shout and rejoice?)
The people ’round here
Can barely pay their rent
They're try'n to make dollar
Outta fifteen cent!
But we got a spirit
Money just can’t buy!
It’s deep as a river
And soars to the sky!!!
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
I could say it ain’t so, but darling, what’s the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste,
And that’s where it’s at
Now run tell that!
[to one of the dancers]
Do that again, and there'll be stumps where your feet are, you got that? You little who- [Link walks up] -Holy moly.
[Amber squeals with delight, and kisses Link]
Amber! [they break apart] Save your personal life for the camera, sweetie! Ooh, shiny! [sends Amber off to makeup for more powder]
I lost, Mom, Let’s just deal with it!
No, you did not lose! [as she pulls the tallies out of her brassiere] You cannot have lost because I switched the damn tallies!
Smile, Ms. Crab Meat! [camera pans to reveal her and Wilbur standing behind a live television camera] You’re on Candid Camera!
That was a good shot, don’t you think?
Cameraman
Not bad!
I’m calling because I have some information about your daughter’s whereabouts.
What?
Right now, as we speak, your daughter has entered a hotbed of moral... !urpentine.
You have to vote for a person, Corny, not one of the Himalayas.
And now it’s time to say goodbye to our very own fun-lovin’, free-wheelin’ little Brenda. Come on up here, Brenda! [Brenda does so] Brenda will be taking a little leave of absence from the show. How long are you gonna be gone, Brenda?
Brenda [smiling nervously]
Just nine months.
Gee, Velma, how do you fire Corny Collins from The Corny Collins Show? [walks off]
No one is auditioning for anything in this household!
But why not? Why not?
Because dancing is not your future. One day, you’re going to own "Edna’s Occidental Laundry".
I don’t want to be a laundress, I want to be famous!
If you want to be famous, learn how to take blood out of car upholstery; That’s a skill you can take right to the bank!
Will you turn that racket down? I'm trying to iron here.
Ma, its not racket, its the Corny Collins Show!
Well, it's turning your brains into mud!
Shut up!
You.
[to Seaweed and Penny]
Oh, so this is love? [pauses, then smiles] Well, love is a gift; a lot of people don’t remember that. So you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin’ at you from a never-ending parade of stupid.
I was just at home, practising my new twist on “The Twist”, when I overheard it on the news. I can’t believe Tracy savagely bludgeoned an Eagle Scout! That’s just not like her!
But it’s not true! I was there! He didn't even bleed!
