Hairspray Big Blonde And Beautiful Lyrics

Big Blonde And Beautiful Lyrics

MOTORMOUTH

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

Cant get enough so... 



Bring on that pecan pie 

Pour some sugar on it 

Sugar don't be shy 



Scoop me up a mess 

Of that chocolate swirl 

Don't be stingy, 

I'm a growing girl 



1 offer big love 

With no apology 

How can i deny the world 

The most of me 



I am not afraid 

To throw my weight around 

Pound by pound by pound 

Because i'm 

Big, blonde and beautiful 

There is nothin' 'bout me 

That's unsuitable 



No one wants a meal 

That only offers the least 

When girl we're servin' up 

The whole damn feast 



Slice off a piece 

Of that hog head cheese 

Then take a look inside 

My book of recipes 



Now, don't you sniff around 

For something fluffy and light 

I need a man who brings 

A man-size... Appetite 



I'll use a pinch of sugar 

And a dash of spice 

I'll let ya lick the spoon 

Because it tastes so nice 



I'll keep it in my oven 

'Til it's good and hot 

Keep on stirring til it hits the spot 

Because i'm... 



Big, blonde and beautiful 

And Edna girl, you're lookin' so 

Recruitable 

Why sit in the bleachers 

Timid and afraid 

When Edna, 

You can be your own parade! 



TRACY 

So? How 'bout it, Mama? 



EDNA 

Well, I am big, I am blonde... ish, and if you say 

I'm beautiful, I guess I'm beautiful. OK, I'll do it! 



ALL 

Yeaaa! 

Look out old Baltimore 

We're marching in 

'And we ain't shufflin' 

Through that old back door 



EDNA 

And Tracy, i will join the fight 

If i can keep up this pace 



WILBUR 

And girls, i'll be right at your side 

If i can find some space 



MOTORMOUTH 

So you can 

Hold your head up 

Just as big as ya please 

You know they'll hear me knockin' 

With the two of these! 



MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE 

Tomorrow, side by side 

We'll show the world what's right 



EDNA 

Looks like i'm touchin' up my roots tonight! 



MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE 

Then we'll be 

Big, blonde and beautiful 

It's time to face the fact 

It's irrefutable 



Can't ya hear that rumbling? 

That's our hunger to be free 

It's time to fin'ly taste 

Equality 



COUNCIL MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS 

On mother/daughter day 

Where thin is in, 

We're white as wool 



MOTORMOUTH 

Well ladies, big is back! 

And as for black, it's...



MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE

MOTORMOUTH

All shapes and sizes, follow me



EDNA

COUNCIL MEMBERS

(Police sirens wail. Whistles blow. As the protesters continue their march,
they are loaded into the addy wagon.)

This blond is gray!
