Big Time

Lyrics

He said, "You've got the goods to make the big time"
 And then he puffed on his cigar
 We'll make a killing, We'll get top billing
 I'm gonna make you a star
 First we'll improve a bit on mother nature
 I've got a doctor friend you see
 Imagination, Plus augmentation
 Viola! A brand new me
 To get to the big time you need big time looks
 A shady accountant who can cook the books
 A couple of well-placed friends,
 Some dynamite eight-by-tens
 Before you can reap those big time dividends
 Before you know it I was moving up there
 Don Perignon and caviar
 A late night "Yes sir", leads to good press sir
 And takes a girl pretty far
 So now my name's in lights above the title
 Or it's not on the dotted line
 On the back lots now, I call the shots now
 When there's a contract to sign
 I'm up in the big time, so I make them wait
 I'm up in the big time, so I'm always late
 I tell them all "Let's do lunch",
 Then give them that one, two, punch
 I'm part of the big brass, first class, big time bunch
 Big! Big time! Big time games!
 I Hit the right places
 I Cover my bases
 I Do what I have to
 Smile till it hurts baby,
 Wear shorter skirts baby,
 Cry in a pinch baby,
 But I won't dare give a single square inch, baby!
 Up here in the big time, I've got big time friends
 Who wanna make sure my big time never ends
 My motto is "I've got mine", I live on the bottom line
 Up here in the a-team, wet dream, big, big time
 It's comin' up roses,
 And Barrymore noses
 Worth all the sweat dear
 Worth it? - You bet!
 When you make the climb,
 From the nickel and dime,
 To the simply sublime...
 Big time!
