Lyrics

[Sylvia] (Spoken) Your daughter's good, Mrs. Denmark, and with my help, she can be great! [Judy] But childhood is a time for playing with dolls and riding a bike [Sylvia] (Sung) Oh, any tyke can ride a bike Any brat can swing a bat Every mother's child plays with blocks They run and skip and jump and climb on rocks That may be true for every Dick and Jane But some of us were born to entertain (Spoken) This time I'm doing it for you baby! (Sung) You can have it all, you've got talent Life can be a ball if you've got talent! When it's obvious your child's not An average ordinary tot Shower her with love and validation Judy, recognize her specialties Celebrate the fact that she's Destined for a life, a life of adoration! (Spoken) Come here! Do you like ice cream? [Tina] You bet I do! [Sylvia] (Sung) Well, it's all banana splits when you've got talent You don't have to show your tits if you've got talent You're no silly plastic ingenue In cheesy ads for cheap shampoo Really, you're too good for television [Tina] (Spoken) Really? [Sylvia] (Sung) I'm talking straight, legit, I mean The Broadway stage, the silver screen But first, we need your mother to make the right decision [Judy] (Spoken) I suppose some coaching can't hurt But only after school [Sylvia] We start this afternoon! [Judy] I'm afraid she can't this afternoon [Tina] Today's the auditions for the school play I'm trying out for the lead [Sylvia] (Sung) It cannot be denied, you've got talent And I'll be by your side to guide that talent So kick up your heels and tap your toes I'm your Auntie Mame, your Mama Rose And nothing's gonna stop us 'till we're through Honey, Sylvia will make your dream come true You've got talent! So much talent! Baby, you'll have it all, wait and see For along with all that talent, you've got Your mother! [Judy] (Spoken) Thank you! [Sylvia] (Sung) And me!
