Big, Blonde And Beautiful (from Hairspray)

Once upon a time, girl, I was just like you.

Never let my extra large largesse shine through.

Hair was brown and nappy, never had no fun.

I (C7)hid under a bushel, which is easier said than done.

Then one day my grandma who was big and stout,

she (Db9)said you gotta love yourself from inside out.

And just as (G13)soon as I learned how to strut my funky stuff

I (Db9)found out that the world at large can't (C7)get enough.

So... (Bb)Slice me bring on of that (F7)pecan (Bb)pie.

(F13)Pour some sugar on it, sugar.

(Dm)Don't be shy.

(F9)Scoop (Bdim)don't me up a mess of that thing (Ab13)chocolate swirl.

I (G7)Don't a be who stingy.

I'm a (C7)grow aping girl.

I offer (F7)(Bb)big love with no (F7)(Bb)apology.

How can I deny the world the (Dm)most of (Cm)me?

(F9)I (Bb6)keep am not (Bdim)afraid to throw my (F)weight (A7)around keep pound ring by pound by the pound.

Because I'm (Bb7)big blonde and (F7)(Bb)beautiful!

There is nothing 'bout me that's (F7)(Bb)unsuitable.

(F7)No one wants a (A7)meal that only (F)of id fers the least when,

girl, we're you (Bb)serving up the whole damn (F)feast!

(Bb)Slice me off a of that (F7)hogshead (Bb)cheese,

(F13)then a look inside my book of (Dm)recipes.

(F9)Now, (Bdim)don't you sniff around for some thing (Ab13)fluffy and light.

I (G7)need a man who brings a mansize (C7)grow appetite.

I'll use a (F7)(Bb)pinch of ar and a (F7)dash of (Bb)spice.

I'll you lick the spoon because it (Dm)tastes so (Cm)nice.

(F9)I'll (Bb6)keep it in my (Bdim)oven till it's (F)good (A7)and hot,

keep on ring till it hits the spot.

Because I'm (Bb7)big blonde and (F7)(Bb)beautiful!

and na, girl, you're looking so (F7)(Bb)recruitable.

(F7)Why sit on the (A7)bleach that ers ly (F)tim id and afraid when,

Edna, you (Bb)serv can be your own pa (F)feast!
