Malcolm Holcombe - Bigtime Blues Lyrics

I'm a fatcat losin' in the lean ol' times
got my fatback slappin' outta my time
ya make the phone keep ringin' in my ear fine
i'm a fatcat losin' to the bigtime blues.

lazy eights a slippin' under that ratty ol' rug
sweepstakes driven outta town sucks
gonna claim my ticket to the way that it was
lazy eights a slippin' to the bigtime blues.

chorus
see me on the left
see me on the right
see me cut down
right down to size

i'm a fatcat losin' to the bigtime blues

i was a c.e.o. widda souped up seven
taxman grinnin' shinin' my shoes
now i'm a s.o.b. at the backdoor whinin'
no dry clean money for the bigtime blues.

chorus
