Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand
You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
Kept 'em so entertained
but now you just don't remember
but now you just don't remember
All the things you said
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to provide it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
So much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
Well, it's no big without to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
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
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, you didn't
You had to open up your mouth
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
You had to be a big shot last night
Big shot
big shot
Big shot
big shot
Big shot
big shot
Big shot
big shot
Big shot
big shot
Big shot
big shot
