So Long, Big Time
Tony Bennett
Verse Bright lights are dimmer bank roll is slimmer Looks like I’m down and done Bye bye I gotta run bye bye So long so long big time so long so long big time Looks like I’m down and done I made it fine I made it fast That ain’t the sign it has to last had it made for a while In a highfalutin style so long so long Big time big dough bright lights Big time I won’t pretend I am glad its ended it was fun Now its done but I’ll never sing A loser’s song so long big time I gotta run so long tell the chicks and tell all the cronies Lost it all on the cards and the ponies Tell the friends and fair-weather phonies Living high tell ’em "Bye" and tell ’em why Lady Luck Just gave me the brush off So I’ll rush Off snd try a new routine I’m a guy who rolls with the punches and my hunch And tell all the cookies tell the babes And tell all the bookies that I knew That I’m through and when you do buy a few beers for me Tell ’em no tears for me so long so long Big time big dough bright lights Big time ain’t gonna grieve ’cause I must be leaving it was Fun now its done but I’ll never sing A loser’s song so long big time I gotta run so long
