He said you've got the good to make the big time
 And then he puffed on his cigar
 We'll make a killing, we'll get top billing
 I'm gonna make you a star
 First we'll improve a bit on Mother Nature
 I got a doctor friend you'll see
 Imagination plus augmentation
 Voila, a brand new me!
 
To get to the big time
 You need big time looks
 shady accountant
 Who can cook the books
 couple of well-placed friends
 Some dynamite eight by tens
 Before you can reap
 Those big time dividends

Before you know it I was movin' up there
 Dom Perignon and caviar
 late night "Yes Sir" leads to good press Sir
 And takes a girl pretty far
 So now my name's in lights about the title
 Or it's not on the dotted line
 On the back-lots now, I call the shots now
 When there's a contract to sign 

To get to the big time
 You need big time looks
 shady accountant
 Who can cook the books
 couple of well-placed friends
 Some dynamite eight by tens
 Before you can reap
 Those big time dividends

I hit the right places
 I cover my bases
 I do what I have to
 Smile till it hurts, baby
 Wear shorter skirts, baby
 Cry in a pinch, baby
 But I won't dare
 Give a single square inch, baby

To get to the big time
 You need big time looks
 shady accountant
 Who can cook the books
 couple of well-placed friends
 Some dynamite eight by tens
 Before you can reap
 Those big time dividends
