Dr. John - Big Shot lyrics

rate me

I know you're holdin'; better hold it down.

Don't oversell it, and you can hang around.

Never been done like I can.

Ain't never gonna be done again.

Ain't stuck up, don't put on no airs.

Bust and crush, and I never split hairs

Ain't never was, never gonna be

Another big shot like me.

I'm the big shot. Land in the cup

For you to see.

Let's me and you go off somewhere, child.

How do you think? In my own kinda style.

If I don't kill ya, I'm sure to kill ya

Got the remedy that's sure to heal ya.

Ain't never was, never gonna be

Another big shot like me.

I'm the big shot. Land in the cup

For you to see,

If you don't call it, I'll write a second line.

Snatch you up, light you up, make you smile.

It's no l... to ball; don't we ball in style?

Send you to the precinct for loitering, child.

Gold diggers' money wasted, that's my cue.

Hey, child, I'm gonna voodoo you. I'm the big shot.

So turn ya off, shut'em off, that's right

saturate ya when I say goodbye.

Fragile child, handle you with care.

I can rough and tough it, if you like it there.

Ain't never was, never gonna be

Another big shot like me.

Ain't never was, never gonna be

Another big shot like me.

Ain't never was, never gonna be

Another big shot like me.

I'm the big shot. Land in the cup for you

To see .
