Billy Joel Big Shot Lyrics

Big Shot 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 shot, didn't you
You had
to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your
friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last 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 hint, honey
You sure did put on a show

Yes, yes, you had to be a
big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big
shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You hand to the last
word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have the front
page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night

Well, it'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
No, no, no, no,
no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your
mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so
knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be
around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot
last night
