Hairspray – Motormouth Maybelle

Hold it! Nobody ever said this was gonna be easy. If something’s worth having, it’s
worth fighting for. Tracy, why did you start all this in the first place? Was it just to
dance on tv? Was it so you could get the boy? Then maybe it was just to get
famous? No. You think it’s stupid we can’t all dance together. So you tried once and
you failed. We can’t get lazy when things get crazy. Children, you were not the first
to try and you won’t be the last, but I am here to tell you that I’m gonna keep lining
up until someday somebody breaks through.
