Big Spender (original lyrics)
The minute you walked in the joint I could see you were a man of distinction A real big spender Good looking, so refined Say, wouldn’t you want to know What’s going on in my mind? So let me get right to the point I don’t pop my cork for ev’ry guy I see Hey! Big Spender Spend a little time with me Wouldn’t you like to have fun, fun, fun? How’s about a few laughs laughs? I can show you a good time Let me show you a good time The minute you walked in the joint.... (and so on) Hey, Big Spender! Hey, Big Spender! Spend a little time with me Spend a little time with me |
