Carly Simon - Hello Big Man lyrics

rate me

(carly simon/peter wood)

He started a company

When he was a young man

Handsomeand like a reed so tall

With a face like an old photograph

She would fall for him

Fall for him

She would fall

She wore her mother's cocktail dress

With saddle shoes

She was pretty and she was small

She worked the switchboard

Down the hall from him

Down the hall

Chorus:

He said: “hello little woman?

She said: “hello big man?

And that was how the wooing

And the winning began

He said: “hello little woman?

She said: “hello big man?

Of course new york in those days

Was carriage rides and matinees

He took her to a ball

At the waldorf astoria

He would fall for her

Fall for herhe would fall

Chorus

You could hear them laugh

As they danced in their room

And the shadows on the avenue

Rose into a jealous moon

Which swung low in the dawn like

To see what was going on with those two

You keep on expecting

Something to go wrong

And nothing does

They still live in the house

Where we were born

Pictures of us kids

Hanging up all over the walls

And some say he built his empire

For wealth and toil

Butif you ask him why

He'll say he did it all for her

All for her

All for her

Chorus
