Hi There!
I’m on my way I’m making it
I’ve got to make it show, yeah
So much larger than life
I’m going to watch it growing
The place where I come from
Is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
– But not me
I’m smarter than that
I worked it out
I’ve been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out
I’ve had enough, I’m getting out
To the city, the big big city
I’ll be a big noise with all the big boys
There’s so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
BIG time I’m on my way I’m making it
BIG time, Oh yeah
BIG time I’ve got to make it show, yeah
BIG time
BIG time so much larger than life
BIG time I’m going to watch it growing
BIG time
My parties have all the big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always they’re amazed
When I show them round the house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
BIG time I’m on my way I’m making it
BIG time
BIG time I’ve got to make it show, yeah
BIG time
BIG time so much larger than life
BIG time I’m going to watch it growing
BIG time
BIG time my car is getting BIGGER
BIG time my house is getting BIGGER
BIG time my eyes are getting BIGGER
BIG time and my mouth
BIG time my belly is getting BIGGER
BIG time and my bank account
BIG time look at my circumstance
BIG time and the bulge in my
BIG, big, big, big, big, big, big, big
BIG, big, big, big, big, big, big, big
