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/EE/BA/C#
Bring on that
E7A/C#E/BE13
pecan pie.
C9
Pour some sugar on it, sugar.
C#mE9/B
Don't be shy
A6A#dim
Scoop me up a mess
E/G#G#7/CC#9G13

A/EE7/B
big love
A/BE7/BA/C#E/B

G#7/CC#9

A7
There is nothin' 'bout me
E7A/C#E7/BF#m7
That's unsuitable
G7G#7
No
G#7/C

C#mE7/BA
That only offers the least
E/G# F#7(b9)
When girl we're servin' up
F#m7/BA/BECsusGm/CF/C
The whole damn feast
F7A#7/FF7/C
Slice off a piece
A#/CF7A#7/DF/CF13
Of that hogs head cheese
C#7
Then take a look inside
DmF13/CF13
My book of recipes
A#6Bdim

F/CA7/C#D9 G#9#11
For something fluffy and light
G7F/AA#m6
I need a man who brings
G7/BC7A man size... Appetite
F7
I'll use a
A#7/FF7/C
pinch of sugar
A#/FF7A#7/FF/CF13/C
And a dash of spice
C#7
I'll let ya lick the spoon
DmF13/CF13
Because it tastes so nice
A#6Bdim
I'll keep it in my oven
F/CA7/C#D9
'Till it's good and hot

F7A#/DF7Gm7
Recruitable
A7(#5) A7/C#

Timid and afraid
F/A G7(b9)
When Edna, you
Gm7/CA#/CC11
