Timeless To Me
Hairspray Lyrics

Styles keep a changin'
Fashion trends are constantly changing.

The world's re-arrangin'
The world is constantly evolving.

But Edna, you're timeless to me
Despite all the changes happening around me, you never change and remain timeless in my eyes.

Hemlines are shorter
The length of women's dresses has been decreasing.

A beer costs a quarter
The price of beer has increased over time.

But time cannot take what comes free
What we have between us is priceless and unaffected by time.

You're like a stinky old cheese, babe
You may be getting older, but you're only getting better and more desirable.

Just gettin' riper with age
You're becoming more valuable and desirable with age.

You're like a fatal disease, babe
I can't resist you despite the consequences.

But there's no cure
I'll never be able to resist your charms.

So let this fever rage
Let us enjoy our love without worrying about the future.

Some folks can't stand it
Some people can't handle the way time changes everything.

Say time is a bandit
They feel like time is stealing everything from them.

But I take the opposite view
I see time as a friend that brings me more opportunities to spend with you.

Cause when I need a lift
When I need to feel better or happy again

Time brings a gift
Time brings me another day we can spend together.

Another day with you
Being with you makes every day special.

A twist or a waltz
It doesn't matter what kind of music we dance to.

It's all the same schmaltz
No matter what we do, it's always romantic and special.

With just a change in the scenery
Even if our surroundings change, what we feel for each other remains the same.

You'll never be old hat
You'll never be out of style or forgotten.

That's that!
It's a fact and I'm utterly convinced.

Oh, Wilbur!
Edna loves Wilbur and is happy to hear his declaration of love.

Fads keep a-fadin'
Trends and fads come and go.

Castro's invading!
Significant political events are happening around the world.

But Wilbur, you're timeless to me
Regardless of what's happening in the world, Wilbur's love has remained the same for Edna.

Hairdos are higher
Hair is being styled to look taller and more voluminous.

Mine feels like barbed wire
Edna's hair is not glamorous or trendy, but Wilbur loves it anyway.

But you say I'm chic as can be!
Despite her unconventional hairstyle, Wilbur still thinks Edna is fashionable.

You're like a rare vintage ripple
You're unique and unforgettable, like a rare wine.

A vintage they'll never forget
You'll always be remembered and cherished like a rare and valuable item.

So pour me a teeny weenie triple
Let's celebrate our love with a drink, no matter how small.

And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet!
We should be grateful that we're still alive and able to enjoy our love.

I can't stop eating
I can't resist indulging in my favorite foods.

Your hairline's receding
Wilbur is getting older and his hair is thinning.

Soon there'll be nothing at all
Wilbur will eventually lose all his hair.

So, you'll wear a wig
Wilbur will wear a wig when he loses all his hair.

While I roast a pig
Edna will cook dinner while Wilbur wears his wig.

Hey! Pass that Geritol
Geritol is a vitamin supplement for seniors. Edna is jokingly asking for a pill to help her and Wilbur stay young.

Glenn Miller had class
Glenn Miller was an amazing musician with undeniable talent.

That Chubby Checker's a gas
Chubby Checker was a popular singer and entertainer.

But they all pass eventually
Every celebrity eventually gets old and loses their fame and popularity.

You'll never be passe
Wilbur will never go out of style or become irrelevant.

Hip hooray!
Hooray! Wilbur is timeless!

You're timeless to me
Edna loves Wilbur and believes that he will be valued forever.

And Edna, you got me goin' hot and heavy
You turn me on and make me feel alive.

You're fat and old, but baby, boring you ain't!
You may not be traditionally attractive, but you're interesting and engaging.

Some folks don't get it
Some people don't understand how attraction works.

But we never fret it
We don't let the opinions of others affect our love.

'Cause we know that time is our friend
We understand that time will only strengthen our love.

It's plain to see
It's clear to anyone who knows us that we are meant to be together.

That you're stuck with me
We'll be together forever, no matter what.

Until the bitter end
We'll continue loving each other until the very end of our lives.

And we got a kid
We have a child to carry on our legacy.

Who's blowin' the lid
Our child is defying expectations and making us proud.

Off the Turnblad family tree
Our child is adding their own branch to our family tree.

You'll always hit the spot
You'll always satisfy me and make me happy.

Big shot!
Wilbur is being playful and affectionate.

You'll always be du jour
You'll always be fashionable and relevant.

Mon amour
My love!

Ring-a-ding-ding!
An exclamation of happiness and excitement.

You're timeless to me
Wilbur's love for Edna transcends time and is forever.
