Big Shot (Live)
Billy Joel
Yeay...Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine with your fine Park Ave. clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
Oooh, 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 you come bitching 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 had to have a white hot spotlight, you had to be a big shot last night
Woah, oh oh oh...Yeay!
They were all impressed with your Halston dress & the people that u knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success kept 'em so entertained
Ooh ooh but now you just don't remember all the things you said
You're not sure that 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 had to have 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, oh oh
Oh oh whoa whoa oh...Oh oh whoa whoa oh oh...
Oh oh whoa whoa oh...Oh oh whoa...
Well, ain’t 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, you know what everything’s about
You had to have the white hot spot light, you had to be a big shot last night, oh oh
Oh oh whoa whoa oh...Oh oh whoa whoa oh oh...
Oh oh whoa whoa oh...Oh oh whoa whoa oh...
Big shot...Whoa, whoa...Big shot...Whoa, whoa...
Big shot...Whoa, whoa...One more margarita...One more margarita, whoa!
Big shot...Two more margaritas! Whoa! Whoa!...Big shot...Count to three!
Count to three, baby! Whoa!...Big shot, last night...Have a picture!
Take the whole picture baby! Whoa!...Aw, Big shot...Whoa! Whoa!
Big shot...Aw! Don’t you do that on my shoes! Look out!...Big shot, last night...
Stick your head out the window! Do it out the window! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Yeay!
