Bigtime Blues - Malcolm Holcombe

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

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
