Linda Eder - Big Time Lyrics
Lyrics: Jack MurphyHe said you've got the good to make the big timeAnd then he puffed on his cigarWe'll make a killing, we'll get top billingI'm gonna make you a starFirst we'll improve a bit on Mother NatureI got a doctor friend you'll seeImagination plus augmentationVoila, a brand new me!To get to the big timeYou need big time looksA shady accountantWho can cook the booksA couple of well-placed friendsSome dynamite eight by tensBefore you can reapThose big time dividendsBefore you know it I was movin' up thereDom Perignon and caviarA late night "Yes Sir" leads to good press SirAnd takes a girl pretty farSo now my name's in lights about the titleOr it's not on the dotted lineOn the back-lots now, I call the shots nowWhen there's a contract to sign I'm up in the big timeSo I make them waitI'm up in the big timeSo I'm always lateI tell them all "Let's do lunch"Then give them that one-two-punchI'm part of the big-brass, first classBig Time BunchI hit the right placesI cover my basesI do what I have toSmile till it hurts, babyWear shorter skirts, babyCry in a pinch, babyBut I won't dareGive a single square inch, babyUp here in the big timeI've got big time friendsWho wanna make sureMy big time never endsMy motto is: "I've Got Mine"I live on the bottom lineUp here in the "A-Team," wet-dreamBig, big time!It's coming up rosesAnd Barrymore nosesWorth all the sweat, dear?Worth it?...you bet dear!When you make that climbFrom the nickel and dimeTo the simply sublime...Big Time!
