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 Chorus
