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
