Things have changed in the modern world  It Makes it kinda crazy for a boy and girl  All a lot of noise on the radio  It really don't rock  It really don't roll    Well, a kid come along make the young girls swoon  They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms  They all hail the brand new king  Everybody's waiting for the next big thing    [Chorus]  Big cigars, diamond rings  Ridin' all around in a limousine  When you finally hit the top  Man you know what that means  Everybody's ready for the next big thing    For a little while  you can do no wrong  live it up son  cause it don't last long    There's always somebody  Waitin' in the wings  Thinking they're going to be the next big thing    [Chorus]    I'll get a cowboy hat  Some real tight jeans  Lose a little weight and  Get a bellybutton ring    You can stand back I'm a lean machine  Maybe I'm gonna be the next big thing    [Chorus]    Everybody's ready for the next big thing
