ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman

From the musical, Hairspray


C#
Hey! Look out for that moving van
Bbm                      C#
Driving down our streets
You better lock up your man
Ab
Before he meets


    C#
The new girl in town
         Bbm
Who just came on the scene
    C#
The new girl in town
         Bbm
Can't be more than sixteen
    F#
And she's got a way of makin'
                 C#
A boy act like a clown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Ab                    F#
We don't know what to do
                      C# 
'Bout the new girl in town

Ab


    C#
The new girl in town
         Bbm
Seems to dance on air
    C#
The new girl in town
                 Bbm
She's got the coolest hair
    F#
You better tell the homecoming queen
                  C#
To hold on to her crown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
   Ab                  F#
Or she's gonna lose it to
                C#
The new girl in town

C#7


F#         C#
She's hip, so cool
F#                  C#
I'm gonna get her after school!
F#                      C#
And yet we'd like to be like her
       Eb7                       Ab
'Cause she's the kitten that the cats prefer


                  A --
Ladies, step aside!


    D
The new girl in town
       Bm
Has my guy on a string
        D
The new girl in town
               Bm
Hey look she's wearing his ring
G7
I can't stop crying and so
                          D
In my own tears I'm gonna drown
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
      A                 G7
Cause he wants to rendezvous
With the new girl
D                   G7
We're kinda sad and blue
Yes it's true girl
A
We'd like to say...
                   D
To the new girl in town

Bm

                D
The new girl in town
Bm                  D
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
                         Bm
From out of the blue girl
                          D
This town's in a stew girl
What a hullabaloo girl
Bm                                 D
She ain't just passing through girl
                             Bm
She's sticking like glue girl
To the man I though I knew girl
D
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
A
Hey look out for that moving van
Look out, look out. Look out, look out
She was...the new girl in town

D
