Big Time
Eder Linda Lyrics

He said you've got the good to make the big time
Someone told the singer that they have the talent to become famous

And then he puffed on his cigar
The person who told the singer about their potential to become famous is someone who smokes cigars

We'll make a killing, we'll get top billing
The singer and the person who smokes cigars will make a lot of money and be very famous

I'm gonna make you a star
The person who smokes cigars will help the singer become famous

First we'll improve a bit on Mother Nature
The person who smokes cigars wants to use surgery to enhance the singer's appearance

I got a doctor friend you'll see
The person who smokes cigars knows a doctor who can perform plastic surgery

Imagination plus augmentation
The singer's natural talent combined with surgical alterations will make them successful

Voila, a brand new me!
After undergoing cosmetic surgery, the singer will have a new and improved appearance

To get to the big time
In order to become very famous and successful

You need big time looks
Having an attractive appearance is necessary to become famous

A shady accountant
It is important to have an accountant who is willing to bend the rules to help the singer make more money

Who can cook the books
The accountant should be able to manipulate financial records to make the singer appear more profitable than they actually are

A couple of well-placed friends
It is important to have influential contacts who can help the singer succeed

Some dynamite eight by tens
The singer needs professional headshots to use when they apply for jobs

Before you can reap
Before the singer can enjoy

Those big time dividends
All of the wealth and fame that come from being successful

Before you know it I was movin' up there
The singer quickly became successful

Dom Perignon and caviar
The singer is now able to afford expensive champagne and food

A late night "Yes Sir" leads to good press Sir
The singer has learned to behave politely and respectfully in order to get positive media coverage

And takes a girl pretty far
Politeness and respectfulness can help a woman achieve success in the entertainment industry

So now my name's in lights about the title
The singer is becoming famous and getting more prominent roles

Or it's not on the dotted line
The singer will only sign a contract if they think it is in their best interest

On the back-lots now, I call the shots now
The singer is now very successful and has control over their own career

When there's a contract to sign I'm up in the big time
The singer is now so famous and successful that they only sign lucrative contracts

So I make them wait
The singer is now in a position of power and can make others wait for them

I'm up in the big time
The singer is very successful and famous

So I'm always late
The singer is often not punctual

I tell them all "Let's do lunch"
The singer makes social plans with others in the entertainment industry

Then give them that one-two-punch
The singer is very good at making impressive and persuasive arguments

I'm part of the big-brass, first class
The singer is now part of the Hollywood elite

Big time bunch
A group of very successful people

I hit the right places
The singer is very good at attending the right social events to network and promote their career

I cover my bases
The singer is very thorough and careful when it comes to managing their career

I do what I have to
The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to be successful

Smile till it hurts, baby
The singer uses a fake smile when they need to be polite, even if it is uncomfortable

Wear shorter skirts, baby
The singer is willing to dress provocatively to get attention and advance their career

Cry in a pinch, baby
The singer might pretend to cry to gain sympathy and get what they want

But I won't dare
The singer has set some limits for how far they will go to succeed

Give a single square inch, baby
The singer will not back down or give up any of their power

Up here in the big time
Being successful in the entertainment industry

I've got big time friends
The singer has influential contacts in the entertainment industry

Who want to make sure
The singer's friends are invested in helping them continue to be successful

My big time never ends
The singer wants to keep being successful and famous forever

My motto is: "I've got mine"
The singer is not interested in helping others achieve success, only themselves

I live on the bottom line
The singer is focused on making as much money as possible

Up here in the "A-Team," wet-dream
Being part of the most successful and famous group in the entertainment industry

Big, big time!
Being very successful and famous in the entertainment industry

It's coming up roses
The singer is currently in a good position to succeed

And Barrymore noses
Having a prominent and distinctive nose like the famous Barrymore family

Worth all the sweat, dear?
Is all the hard work and effort worth the success?

Worth it? ...You bet dear!
Yes, the hard work and effort is definitely worth the success

When you make that climb
When you achieve success in the entertainment industry

From the nickel and dime
From a lower level of success and fame

To the simply sublime...
To a very high level of success and fame

Big time!
Being very successful and famous in the entertainment industry
