[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
