SONG: Big, Blonde And Beautiful ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman From the musical, Hairspray
E13
Once upon a time, girl, I was just like you.

A9
Never let my extra large largesse shine through

F#13
Hair was brown and nappy, never had no fun.

  B7(#9)
I hid under a bushel, Which is easier said than done!

A9
Then one day my grandma who was big and stout,

C9
She said you gotta love yourself from inside out.

            F#13
And just as soon as I learned how to strut my funky stuff.

  C9                                      B7(#5)
I found out that the world at large can't

                E
get enough. So...

A/E    E/B  A/C#
Bring on that

E7  A/C#  E/B    E13
pecan pie.

   C9
Pour some sugar on it, sugar.

C#m        E9/B
Don't be shy

    A6        A#dim
Scoop me up a mess

        E/G#  G#7/C  C#9    G13
Of that chocolate swirl

F#7   E/G#  Am6
Don't be stingy,

F#7/A#  B7
I'm a growing girl

       E7
I offer

A/E    E7/B
big love

     A/B  E7/B  A/C#  E/B
With no apology

  C9
How can I deny the world

    C#m     Bm7    E9
The most of me

 A6
I

        A#dim            E/B
am not afraid to throw my

       G#7/C  C#9
weight around

   F#7(b9) A7/B   E    E13
Pound by pound by pound

            A7
Because i'm

                E7  A7/C#  E7
Big, blonde and beautiful

    A7
There is nothin' 'bout me

        E7  A/C#  E7/B    F#m7
That's unsuitable

G7  G#7
No

            G#7/C
one wants a meal

          C#m    E7/B    A
That only offers the least

     E/G#       F#7(b9)
When girl we're servin' up

    F#m7/B  A/B  E    Csus    Gm/C    F/C
The whole damn feast

F7    A#7/F  F7/C
Slice off a piece

   A#/C  F7      A#7/D  F/C    F13
Of that hogs head cheese

     C#7
Then take a look inside

          Dm     F13/C    F13
My book of recipes

     A#6              Bdim
Now, don't you sniff around

              F/C    A7/C#    D9    G#9#11
For something fluffy and light

  G7     F/A     A#m6
I need a man who brings

  G7/B    C7
A man size... Appetite

          F7
I'll use a

A#7/F    F7/C
pinch of sugar

A#/F  F7    A#7/F  F/C    F13/C
And a dash of spice

     C#7
I'll let ya lick the spoon

           Dm        F13/C    F13
Because it tastes so nice

     A#6           Bdim
I'll keep it in my oven

        F/C     A7/C#  D9
'Till it's good and hot

        G7(b9)          Gm7/C  A#7/C  F    F13
Keep on stirring til it hits the spot

             A#7

Big, blonde and beautiful

    A#7
And Edna girl, you're lookin' so

 F7    A#/D  F7    Gm7
Recruitable

  A7(#5)       A7/C#
Why sit in the bleachers

Dm        F7/C    A#
Timid and afraid

     F/A     G7(b9)
When Edna, you

            Gm7/C  A#/C    C11
can be your own parade!
C#7 G#m/C# F#/C# F#
B7/F#  F#7/C#

And we ain't shufflin'
             D#m  D7  C#m7
Through that old back door

    F#9    B6              Cdim

Then we'll be

                F#7  B/D#    F#7
Big, blonde and beautiful

     B7

        F#7  B/D#  F#7/C#    G#7
It's irrefutable

   A#+             A#7/D
Can't ya hear that rumbling?

           D#m       F#7/C#    B
That's our hunger to be free

     F#/A#   G#7(b9)
It's time to fin'ly taste
