Brittany Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving down our streets
You better lock up your man
Before he meets the new girl in town
Who just came on the scene
The new girl in town
Can't be more than sixteen
And she's got a way of makin'
A boy act like a clown
Wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo
We don't know what to do
'Bout the next girl in town
The new girl in town
Seems to dance on air
The new girl in town
She's got the coolest hair
You better tell the homecoming queen
To hold on to her crown
Wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo
Or she's gonna lose it to
The new girl in town
She's hip, so cool
I'm gonna get her after school
And yet we'd like to be like her
'Cause she's the kitten
That the cats prefer
The new girl in town
Has my guy on a string
The new girl in town
Hey look she's wearing his ring
I can't stop crying and so
In my own tears I'm gonna drown
Wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo
'Cause he wants to rendezvous
With the new girl
(This is the part the
New part at the end)
We kinda sad and blue
Yes it's true girl
We'd like to say
To the new girl in town
The new girl in town
Wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo
From out of the blue girl
This town's in a stew girl
What a hullabaloo girl
She ain't just passing through girl
She's sticking like glue girl
To the man I though I knew girl
Wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo,wo-oo
Hey look out for that moving van
Look out, look out, look out, look out
She was the new girl in town
The song "The New Girl In Town" from the musical Hairspray is all about the arrival of a new girl in a small town and the impact that she has on the people around her, especially the male population. The lyrics describe her as being young, stylish, and magnetic, and everyone is drawn to her charm and energy. Girls in town feel threatened by her because she is a danger to their relationships, and they cannot help but be envious of her beauty.
The line "You better lock up your man before he meets the new girl in town" in the chorus is quite telling. It means that the new girl is a potential threat to the stability of relationships that exist at the moment. Her striking looks and magnetic personality are enough to make men act like clowns and leave the people they love.
The song is upbeat and catchy, with an infectious melody that has become an anthem for many young girls, especially those who move to a new place and want to make the most of their opportunities there. The repeated "Wo-oo" in the chorus easily catches the listener's attention and makes them want to sing along.

I can't stop crying and so
I'm upset and crying
In my own tears I'm gonna drown
I feel overwhelmed with sadness
'Cause he wants to rendezvous
Because my boyfriend wants to meet her secretly
With the new girl
He's interested in the new girl
We kinda sad and blue
We feel sad and depressed about the situation
Yes it's true girl
It's a fact
We'd like to say
We want to express
From out of the blue girl
Unexpectedly,
This town's in a stew girl
The town's in an uproar because of her
What a hullabaloo girl
What a commotion
She ain't just passing through girl
She's here to stay
She's sticking like glue girl
She's becoming a part of the town and people's lives
To the man I thought I knew girl
She's taking my boyfriend away from me
Hey look out for that moving van
Beware of the new girl in town
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Be careful
She was the new girl in town
The song is about a new girl who moved into town
