He said: "You 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 got a doctor friend, you'll see."
Imagination plus augmentation -
Voila, 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 movin' up there,
Dom 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 Bit!)

< Clarinet solo >

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 coming up roses and Barrymore noses.
Worth all the sweat, dear?
Worth it?...you bet dear!
When you make that climb
From the nickel and dime
To the simply sublime! Big Ti-me!
