Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I didn't have to do that you know
I didn't have to show up here
With my vast financial holdings
I could have been basking in the sun in Florida
This is just a hobby for me, nothin' ya hear? A hobby
[Verse 2]
I used to shiver in the wings
But then I was young
I used to shiver in the wings
Until I found my own tongue
[Verse 3]
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
[Verse 4]
I knocked 'em dead in Dallas
And I didn't pay my dues
Yeah I knocked 'em dead in Dallas
They didn't know we were Jews
[Verse 5]
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
[Verse 6]
I'm a fuel-injected legend
I don't wanna be a bore
I just wanna live a rich life
And I wanna die poor
Poor
Poor
Poor
Poor
Poor
Sorry, baby
I just can't get it on anymore
[Verse 7]
But I won't be happy
Till I'm known far and wide
With my face on the cover
Of the TV Guide
[Verse 8]
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
All day
'Cause you know, baby, I'm the next big thing
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
'Cause you know, baby
