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
    ...Beautiful!!

    MOTORMOUTH
    All shapes and sizes, follow me

    EDNA
    Let's bust their chops!

    VELMA
    Quick, cali the cops!

    MOTORMOUTH & PROTESTERS
    We're gonna dance our way to victory!
    And get us on TV!

    PROTESTERS
    2...4...6...8...TV'S got to integrate!

    COUNCIL MEMBERS
    Stay away! This isn't Negro Day!

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

    MOTORMOUTH

    EDNA pulling on Velmas hair
    This blond is gray!
