Big Shot Lyrics

Big shot, so debonair

Legs half crossed in the lobby chair

All dressed up for his first affair

Big shot, rented car

Two whole drinks from the minibar

The sex is just material for the memoir

He's still gonna be famous

Only twenty years since he graduated

Oooo anything to feel like a big shot, like a big shot

Ooo anything to wear the crown

Ooo anything to feel like a big shot, like a big shot

Ooo like the world ain't grinding you down

Big shot, he's no jerk

But his wife's so mean and it's tough at work

So he makes a scene and yells at the clerk

Big shot, so unfair

Don't they know he's supposed to be a millionaire?

Bills on the counter plugs in his hair

So he waits in the lobby

At least she acts like he's somebody

Oooo anything to feel like a big shot, like a big shot

Ooo anything to wear the crown

Ooo anything to feel like a big shot, like a big shot

Ooo like, the world wants you around

Play him the world's smallest fiddle, he ain't even upper middle

No one told him life would be so hard

Now he's not anointed, so he get disappointed

Thinks there's been a filing error with God

Looks like it can't be bought

Somewhere in the middle he lost the plot

He's gotten big but he missed his shot

Big shot, a foot in the grave

Six feet down and a couple bouquets

At that's funeral, no one'll say

He was a big shot
