Lyrics

Things are changing in the modern world
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy and girl
An awful lot of noise on the radio
It really don't rock, it really don't roll
Well, a kid come along make the young girls swoon
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms
They all hail the brand new king
Everybody's waiting for the next big thing
Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man, you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing
For a little while, you can do no wrong
Live it up son 'cause it don't last long
'Cause there's always somebody waitin' in the wings
Thinking they're going to be the next big thing
Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man, you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing
I'll get a cowboy hat, some real tight jeans
I lose a little weight and get a bellybutton ring
You gonna stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah
And maybe I'm gonna be the next big thing
Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man, you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing
Everybody's ready for the next big thing
