Linda Eder - Big Time lyrics

He said, "You've got the goods to make the big time" And then he puffed on his cigar We'll make a k**ing, 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 bra**, first cla**, 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!
