He said you've got the good 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 about 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 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 Time!
