Big Shot
Well, you went uptown
Riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And a spoon up your nose
When you wake up in the morning
With you head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't 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 the white hot spot light
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed
With your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And with the story of your latest success
You kept them so entertained
But not you just don't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure that you wanna 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
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, 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're so much fun to be around
You had to have the white hot spot light
You had to be a big shot last night
Gran Golpe
Bueno, fuiste al centro
En tu limusina
Con tu ropa fina de Park Avenue
Tenías el Dom Perignon en tu mano
Y una cuchara en tu nariz
Cuando te levantas por la mañana
Contigo cabeza en llamas
Y tus ojos demasiado sangrientos para ver
Ve y llora en tu café
Pero no vengas quejándome
Porque tenías que ser un pez gordo
Usted no?
Tuviste que abrir la boca
Tenías que ser un pez gordo, ¿no?
Todos tus amigos fueron tan noqueados
Tuviste que tener la última palabra anoche
Sabes de qué se trata todo
Tenías que tener la luz blanca del punto caliente
Tuviste que ser un pez gordo anoche
Todos quedaron impresionados
Con tu vestido Halston
Y las personas que conociste en Elaine's
Y con la historia de tu último éxito
Los mantuviste tan entretenidos
Pero no, simplemente no lo recuerdas
Todas las cosas que dijiste
Y no estás seguro de querer saber
Te daré una pista, cariño
Seguro que hiciste un espectáculo
Sí, sí, tenías que ser un pez gordo
Usted no?
Tenías que demostrárselo a la multitud
Tenías que ser un pez gordo, ¿no?
Todos tus amigos fueron tan noqueados
Tuviste que tener la última palabra anoche
Eres muy divertido estar cerca
Debías tener la portada en negrita
Tuviste que ser un pez gordo anoche
Bueno, no es un gran pecado meter tus dos centavos
Si sabes cuándo dejarlo solo
Pero pasaste la línea
No podías ver que era hora de ir a casa
No, no, no, no, tenías que ser un pez gordo
Usted no?
Tuviste que abrir la boca
Tenías que ser un pez gordo, ¿no?
Todos tus amigos fueron tan noqueados
Tuviste que tener la última palabra anoche
Eres muy divertido estar cerca
Tenías que tener la luz blanca del punto caliente
Tuviste que ser un pez gordo anoche
