Lyrics Tony Bennett – So Long, Big Time!
Text:
Bright lights are dimmer
Bank roll is slimmer
Looks like I’m down and done
Bye bye
Bye bye
So long, so long
Big time
So long, so long
Big time
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
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
And try a new routine
I’m a guy who rolls with the punches
And my hunch is
Its time to quit the scene
Tell the kids
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 funNow its done
But I’ll never sing
A loser’s song
So long big time
I gotta run
So long
