Big Shot - Billy Joel

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
