So Long, Big Time - Bill Evans, Monica Zetterlund

Bright lights are dimmer

Bank roll is slimmer

Looks like I’m down and done

Bye bye

I gotta run

Bye bye

So long, so long, big time

So long, so long, big time

I made it fine

I made it fast

That ain’t the sign

It has to last

Had it made for a while

In a highfalutin

So long, so long, big time

Big dough, bright lights, big time

I won’t pretend

I am glad it’s ended

It was fun

Now it’s done

But I’ll never sing a loser’s song

So long, big time

I gotta run, so long

Tell the guys and tell all the cronies

Lost it on the cards, on the ponies

Tell the friends and fairweather phonies

Livin' high

And tell 'em «bye»

And tell 'em why

Lady Luck just gave me the brush up

So I’ll rush off and try a new routine

I’m a girl who rolls with the punches

And my hunches

It’s time to quit the scene

Tell the kids and tell all the cookies

Tell the babes and tell all the bookies

That I knew

That I’m through

And when you do

Buy a few beers for me

Tell 'em no tears for me

So long, so long, big time

Big dough, bright lights, big time

Ain’t gonna greave

Cause I must be leavin'

It was fun

Now it’s done

But I’ll never sing a loser’s a song

So long, big time

I gotta run, so long
