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...



                 F7     A#/D       F7
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#
Look out,
B/C#  F#7  B7/D#  F#/C#
old Baltimore
       F#13          D9
We're marching in

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


     F#9        B6                 Cdim
And Tracy, i will join your fight

         F#/C#   A#7/D    D#9
If i can keep up this pace

    A13         G#7      F#/A#   Bm6
And girls, i'll be right at your side
   G#7/C  C#7
If I can find some space


            F#7
So you can

B7/D#     F#7/C#
Hold your head up
B/C#    F#7    B/D#    F#/C#
Just as big as you please
     D9
You know they'll hear me knockin'

          D#m               F#13
With the two of these!



   B6                 Cdim
Tomorrow, side by side

               F#/C#      A#7/D    D#9
We'll show the world what's right

               G#7(b9)                      F#    F#13
Looks like I'm touchin' up my roots tonight!

               B7
Then we'll be

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

      B7
It's time to face the fact

        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
 G#m7/C#   F#13
Equality


           B6
On mother/daughter day

Where thin is in,
       Cdim
We're white as wool


             F#/C#
Well ladies, big is back!
    F13(#11)          D#13
And as for black, it's...
