Hello Big Man Lyrics
(Carly Simon/Peter Wood)He started a companyWhen he was a young manhandsome, and like a reed so tallWith a face like an old photographShe would fall for himFall for himShe would fallShe wore her mother’s cocktail dressWith saddle shoesShe was pretty and she was smallShe worked the switchboardDown the hall from himDown the hallChorus:He said: “Hello little woman?She said: “Hello big man?And that was how the wooingAnd the winning beganHe said: “Hello little woman?She said: “Hello big man?Of course New York in those daysWas carriage rides and matineesHe took her to a ballAt the Waldorf AstoriaHe would fall for herFall for her, he would fallChorusYou could hear them laughAs they danced in their roomAnd the shadows on the avenueRose into a jealous moonWhich swung low in the dawn likeTo see what was going on with those twoyou keep on expectingSomething to go wrongAnd nothing doesThey still live in the houseWhere we were bornPictures of us kidsHanging up all over the wallsAnd some say he built his empireFor wealth and toilBut, if you ask him whyHe’ll say he did it all for herAll for herAll for herChorus
