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
Because i'm...

Big, blonde and beautiful

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)

             D#m  D7  C#m7   
Through that old back door
