Big shot, tell you what tell me what goes on around in here   Go on and get me in the corner   Smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer      Tell me that this world is no place for the weak   Then you can look me in the eye   And tell me if you see a trace of fear      You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp   And you gotta have no illusions   Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder      Okay what you say tell me what they're wearing this year   Go on and laugh at me 'cause you don't see   That I got something going right here      Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid   Well ace, shut your face   Maybe you will see or hear      You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp   And you gotta have no illusions   Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder      Big shot, thanks a lot gotta go it's getting late   I got a date with my tailor now   Thanks for putting me so straight      Tell me how they run the crime down every street   But check your watch and wallet now   Before I go and you're too late      You gotta look sharp, you gotta look sharp   And you gotta have no illusions   Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder
