I wanted to be on a stage Where bright lights shine on me At Carnegie I polished up my act Knew the crowds would see I had the knack And that's a fact Glamour and fame Wasn't much more than a crazy game I had to play And now I got my wish I don't know if I can handle it But I think I'm gonna win
I'm in the big time, big time And I know success is all mine, all mine Big time, big time Gonna have the best of time
Do-do-do-do-do, Do-do-do-do-do-do Big time Do-do-do-do-do, Do-do-do-do-do-do Big time
So I made it there, and an agent handles my career Star of the Year Following the steps of the best Of Broadway East and West I passed the test It's all too much With the interviews, reviews and such I'm very touched And it blows my mind All the autographs I have to sign When there's so little time
I'm in the big time, big time And I know success is all mine, all mine In the big time, big time Gonna have the best of time
Do-do-do-do-do, Do-do-do-do-do-do Big time Do-do-do-do-do, Do-do-do-do-do-do Big time
