Cab Calloway - How Big Can You Get Lyrics

How big can you get
Can you get, can you get
How big can you get
Aren't you big enough yet?
So why are you stretchin' up taller than tall
For the bigger you get, the harder you fall

Ooh, how rich can you get
Can you get, can you get
You're gonna regret
Yes, the richer you get
Remember the more that you're achin' to make
It's the dough you forget
The government takes

It's true, it's true, oh
What are you to do
You multiply
But you can't take it with you when you die

How big can you get
Can you get, can you get
The bigger you get, ooh, the more you upset
The more you upset, makes the more that you fret
How big can you get
How big can you get

Say Jack, you can never wear more than one suit at a time
An' wearin' one pair of shoes, that ain't no crime
Who do you wanna be, Bub?
Gugenheim?
A hotdog only costs that cada dime

If you'd rather be a Duke or Grand Marquis
Well, you see the latest movies the same as he
They all listen to the radio an' all for free
I'm askin' you, Bub
How big can you be?

How big can you get
Can you get, can you get
How big can you get
Aren't you big enough yet?
So why are you stretchin' up taller than tall
For the bigger you get, the harder you fall

Ooh, how rich can you get
Can you get, can you get
You're gonna regret
Yes, the richer you get
Remember the more that you're achin' to make
It's the dough you forget
The government takes

It's true, it's true, oh
What are you to do
You multiply
But you can't take it with you when you die

How big can you get
Can you get, can you get
The bigger you get, ooh, the more you upset
The more you upset, makes the more that you fret
How big can you get
How big can you get
