Billy Joel - Big Shot

Well you went uptown riding in your limousine

They were all impressed with your Halston dress

You had to have the last word, last night

You had to open up your mouth

But don't come bitchin' to me

Big shot

You had to have a white hot spotlight

And the people that you knew at Elaine's

Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you

You had the Dom Perignon in your hand

Big shot

You had to be a big shot last night

You had to be a big shot, didn't you

And the spoon up your nose

Go on and cry in your coffee

You had to have the front page, bold type

Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in

So much fun to be around

Eric

All your friends were so knocked out

Big shot

You had to be a big shot, didn't you

shit

Big shot

But you went over the line
