Lyrics So Long Big Time - Monica Zetterlund, Bill Evans

So Long Big Time

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
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
So long, so long, big time
Big dough, bright lights, big time
I won’t pretend
I am glad it’s ended
It was fun
Now it’s done
But I’ll never sing a loser’s song
So long, big time
I gotta run, so long
Tell the guys and tell all the cronies
Lost it on the cards, on the ponies
Tell the friends and fairweather phonies
Livin' high
And tell 'em «bye»
And tell 'em why
Lady Luck just gave me the brush up
So I’ll rush off and try a new routine
I’m a girl who rolls with the punches
And my hunches
It’s 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 greave
Cause I must be leavin'
It was fun
Now it’s done
But I’ll never sing a loser’s a song
So long, big time
I gotta run, so long
