Big Time - Linda Eder

He said, «You've got the goods 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’ve got a doctor friend you 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

So 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

Big!

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 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 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!
