SONG: Big, Blonde And Beautiful
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman

From the musical, Hairspray


E13Once upon a time, girl, I was just like you.
A9Never let my extra large largesse shine through

F#13Hair was brown and nappy, never had no fun.
  B7(#9)I hid under a bushel, Which is easier said than done!


A9Then one day my grandma who was big and stout,
C9She said you gotta love yourself from inside out.
            F#13And 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.
   C9Pour 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#  B7I'm a growing girl


       E7   I offer 
A/E    E7/B   big love 
     A/B  E7/B  A/C#  E/B   With no apology
  C9How 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    E13Pound by pound by pound
            A7Because i'm
                E7  A7/C#  E7  Big, blonde and beautiful
    A7There 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#7Then 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    C7A 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#7I'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    F13Keep on stirring til it hits the spot
             A#7Because i'm...

    A#7And 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    C11can be your own parade!
