Linda Eder - Big Time lyrics

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've got a doctor friend you'll see

Imagination, Plus augmentation

Viola! 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 moving up there

Don Perignon and caviar

A late night "yes sir", leads to good press sir

And takes a girl pretty far

And now my name's in lights above 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

Hey! Big time! Big time games!

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 by big time never ends

My motto is "I've got mine", I live on the bottom line

Up here in the a-team, we dream, big, big time

It's comin' up roses,

And Barrymore noses

Worth all the sweat dear

Worth it? - You bet!

When you make the climb,

From the nickel and dime,

To the simply sublime...

Big time
