'Cause it's time for a star
Who looks just like you!
Dontcha 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 the style
That makes you feel like you
Something fresh
Something new
Step on out
Hear us shout
Mama, that's your cue
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at me
I'm the cutest chickie
That ya ever did see
Hey Tracy, hey baby
Look at us
Where is there a team
That's half as fabulous
I let go, go, go of the past now
Said hello to this red carpet ride
Yes 1 know that the world's spinning fast now
Tell lollabrigida to step aside
Your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh your mama's welcoming the sixties
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, mama, go, go, go
Welcome to the sixties, open the door
For the girl who has more, she's a star

The lyrics are about the excitement of the 1960s and how everyone should embrace the positive changes happening around them. The song starts with inviting the listener to follow and groove along with the new sound of the 60s. It encourages letting go of the past and embracing new love and life opportunities. The chorus is about welcoming and celebrating the 60s by having fun, taking chances, and being fabulous. The rest of the lyrics are about reinventing oneself and taking control of one's life to feel fresh, new, and confident.
One interesting fact about the song is that John Travolta was donning a fat suit and playing the role of Edna Turnblad, the main character's mother, in the movie.
