Dr. John - Big Shot Lyrics

I know you're holdin',
But hold it down
Don't over sell it,
And you can hang around
Never been, done like I can
Ain't never gonna be done again
Ain't stuck up, don't put on no airs
Fuss and cuss, and I never split hairs

Ain't never was, never gonna be
Another big shot like me
I'm the big shot,
Laying in the cut for you to see

Let's me and you go off somewhere child
I do your thing in my own kinda style
If I don't cure ya, I'm sure to kill ya
Got the remedy that's sure to heal ya

Ain't never was, never gonna be
Another big shot like me
I'm the big shot,
Laying in the cut for you to see

If you don't follow that ratty second line file,
Snatch ya up, light ya up, make you smile
If you're stalled at the wall
Gonna be balled with style
Send ya to the precinct for loitering child
Gold diggers, money wasters, that's my groove
Hey child, whose little who is you?
I'm the big shot

Turn ya on, shut 'em off that's right
Saturate ya, when I signify
Fragile child, handle you with care
I can rough and tough it if you like it there

It never was, never gonna be
Another big shot like me
It never was, never gonna be
Another big shot like me
It never was, never gonna be
Another big shot like me
I'm the big shot, laying in the cut for you
For all you to see
