Big Time

Lyrics: Jack Murphy



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!
