Linda Eder - Big Time lyrics

rate me

He said you've got the good 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 got a doctor friend you'll see

Imagination plus augmentation

Voila, 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 movin' up there

Dom 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 about 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

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 coming up roses

And Barrymore noses

Worth all the sweat, dear?

Worth it?...you bet dear!

When you make that climb

>From the nickel and dime

To the simply sublime...

Big Time!
