Текст песни Big Shot - Billy Joel

Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine with your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning with your head on fire
And your eyes too 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 know what everything's about
You had to have a white-hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night, oh-oh

Hey, they were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success kept 'em so entertained
Oh, but now you just don't remember all the things you said
And you're not sure that 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
So much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night, oh

Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa

That'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, oh

Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa

Aw, big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Oh, big shot, hey
Big shot, wow
Big shot
Hey
Big shot
