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
