Big Shot Lyrics

You went uptown riding in your limousine

In your fine Park Avenue clothes

You had the Dom Perignon in your hand

And the spoon up your nose

And when you wake up in the morning

With your head on fire

And your eyes too bloody to see

Go on and cry in your coffee

But don't come bitchin' to me



Because you had to be a big shot

didn't you

You had to open up your mouth

You had to be a big shot

didn't you

All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the last word

last night

You know what everything's about

You and to have a white hot spotlight

You had to be a big shot last night



They were all impressed with your Halston dress

And the people you knew at Elaine's

And the story of your latest success

Kept 'em so entertained

But now you jsut can't remember

All the things you said

And you're not sure you want to know

I'll give you one hint

honey

You sure did put on a show



Yes

yes

you had to be a big shot

didn't you

You had to prove it to the crowd

You had to be a big shot

didn't you

All your friends were so knocked out

You hand to the last word

last night

You're so much fun to be around

You had to have the front page

bold type

You had to be a big shot last night



Well

it's no big sin to stick your two cents in

If you know when to leave it alone

But you went over the line

You couldn't see it was time to go home

No

no

no

no

no

no

you had to be a big shot

didn't you

You had to open up your mouth

You had to be a big shot

didn't you

All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the last word

last night

So much fun to be around

You had to have a white hot spotlight

You had to be a big shot last night
