Big, Blonde And Beautiful (from Hairspray) sing and play along

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 hid under a bushel, which is easier said than done.

Then one day my grandma who was big and stout,

she said you gotta love yourself from inside out.

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

I found out that the world at large can't get enough.

So... Slice me bring on of that pecan pie.

Pour some sugar on it, sugar.

I offer big love with no apology.

How can I deny the world the most of me?
