Big Shot - Lyrics by Billy Joel


Lyrics
You went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shotdidn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shotdidn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last wordlast night
You know what everything's about
You and to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
But now you jsut can't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hinthoney
You sure did put on a show
Yesyesyou had to be a big shotdidn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shotdidn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You hand to the last wordlast night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have the front pagebold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Wellit's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
Nonononononoyou had to be a big shotdidn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shotdidn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last wordlast night
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
