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 the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes to bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' 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 had to have the white hot spotlight
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 the story of your latest sucess
Kept 'em so entertained
Aw but now you just don't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to 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 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,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
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
El Gran Tirano
Bueno, fuiste al centro en tu limusina
Con tu ropa fina de Park Avenue
Tenías Dom Perignon en tu mano
Y la cuchara en tu nariz
Y cuando te despiertas por la mañana
Con la cabeza ardiendo
Y los ojos demasiado sangrientos para ver
Ve y llora en tu café
Pero no vengas a quejarte conmigo
Porque tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Tenías que abrir la boca
Tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Todos tus amigos estaban tan impresionados
Tenías que tener la última palabra, anoche
Tenías que tener el foco de atención
Tenías que ser un gran tirano anoche
Todos estaban impresionados con tu vestido Halston
Y las personas que conocías en Elaine's
Y la historia de tu último éxito
Los mantenía tan entretenidos
Pero ahora simplemente no recuerdas
Todas las cosas que dijiste
Y no estás seguro si quieres saber
Te daré una pista, cariño
Seguro que diste un espectáculo
Sí, sí, tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Tenías que demostrarlo a la multitud
Tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Todos tus amigos estaban tan impresionados
Tenías que tener la última palabra, anoche
Eres tan divertido de estar alrededor
Tenías que estar en la primera página, en negrita
Tenías que ser un gran tirano anoche
Bueno, no es un gran pecado meter tu opinión
Si sabes cuándo dejarlo
Pero cruzaste la línea
No podías ver que era hora de ir a casa
No, no, no, no, no, tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Tenías que abrir la boca
Tenías que ser un gran tirano, ¿verdad?
Todos tus amigos estaban tan impresionados
Tenías que tener la última palabra, anoche
Tan divertido de estar alrededor
Tenías que tener el foco de atención
Tenías que ser un gran tirano anoche
