Tracey Ullman (born Trace Ullman; 30 December 1959) is an English television, stage, and film actress of dual British and American citizenship. She performs as a comedian, singer and dancer, and also works as a director, screenwriter, author, and businesswoman.
Ullman's early appearances were on British television sketch comedy shows A Kick Up the Eighties (with Rik Mayall and Miriam Margolyes) and Three of a Kind (with Lenny Henry and David Copperfield). After a brief singing career, she appeared as Candice Valentine in Girls on Top with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
She emigrated from the United Kingdom to the United States where she starred in her own network television comedy series, The Tracey Ullman Show, from 1987 until 1990. She later produced programmes for HBO, including Tracey Takes On... (1996–99), for which she garnered numerous awards. Ullman's sketch comedy series, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, ran from 2008 to 2010 on Showtime. She has also appeared in several feature films. Ullman was the first British woman to be offered her own television sketch show in both the United Kingdom and the United States and in 2016 stars in her own BBC sketch comedy show Tracey Ullman's Show, her first project for the broadcaster in over thirty years.
Tracey Ullman's great cover of the Kirsty MacColl song features a cameo from Paul McCartney.
Tracey's first UK hit single reached the Top Five and launched a series of humorous video clips, several of which feature famous guest appearances.

I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
When people ask of me, what would you like to be?
Now that you're not a kid anymore? (You're not a kid anymore)
I know just what to say
I answer right away
There's just one thing I've been wishing for
I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
Each night I sit at home, hoping that he will phone
But I know Bobby has some one else (You're not a kid anymore)
Still in my heart I pray there soon will come a day when I will have him all to myself
I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl what a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
