E  
Once upon a time, girl, I was just like you.
A 
Never let my extra large largesse shine through

Gb  
Hair was brown and nappy, never had no fun.
  B7    
I hid under a bushel, Which is easier said than done!
 
A 
Then one day my grandma who was big and stout,
C 
She said you gotta love yourself from inside out.
            Gb  
And just as soon as I learned how to strut my funky stuff.
  C                                       B7    
I found out that the world at large can't 
                E   
get enough. So...
 
A      E    A

Pour some sugar on it, sugar.

       Ab7    Db   
weight around
