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#

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

               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...
