Carola (Standertskjold) - So Long, Big Time! lyrics

rate me

(Music and lyrics by Harold Arlen – Dory Langdon)

(Recorded 5.6.1966, released 2004)

Bright lights are dimmer

Bank roll is slimmer

Looks like I’m down and done

Bye, bye, I gotta run.

Bye, bye.

So long, so long

Big time

So long, so long

Big time

I made it fine

I made it fast

That ain’t the sign

It has to last

Had it made for a while

In a highfalutin style

So long, so long

Big time

Big dough, bright lights

Big time

I won’t pretend

I am Glad its ended

It was fun

Now its done

But I’ll never sing

A loser’s song

So long big time

I gotta run

So long

Tell the guys

And tell all the cronies

Lost it all on the cards

And the ponies

Tell the friends

And fair-weather phonies

Living high

And tell ‘em, “Bye”

And tell ‘em why

Lady Luck just give me the brush off

So I’ll rush off

And try a new routine

I’m a girl who rolls with the punches

And my hunch is

Its time to quit the scene

Tell the friends

And tell all the cookies

Tell the babes

And tell all the bookies

That I knew

That I’m through

And when you do

Buy a few beers for me

Tell 'em no tears for me

So long, so long

Big time

Big dough, bright lights

Big time

Ain’t gonna grieve

‘Cause I must be leaving

It was fun

Now its done

But I’ll never sing

A loser’s song

So long big time

I gotta run

So long

So long

<br />
