[verse]

My parties all have big names

And I greet them with the widest smile

Tell them how my life is one big adventure^

And always they're amazed

When I show them round my house, to my bed

I had it made like a mountain range

With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head

And my heaven will be a big heaven

And I will walk through the front door

[chorus to end]

Big time, I'm on my way, I'm making it, big time

Big time, I've got to make it show-yeah, big time

Big time, so much larger than life

Big time, I'm going to watch it growing, big time

Dbsus4/Gb

My car getting bigger

Big time, my house getting bigger

Big time, my eyes getting bigger

Big time, and my mouth

Gbsus4/Gb Gb

Big time, my belly is getting bigger

Big time, and my bank account

Big time, look at my circumstance

Big time, and the bulge in my big big big big big big ... big

Db7sus4/Gb Abm
