[Verse 1] Big shot, tell you what Tell me what goes on around 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 [Chorus] You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder, hey [Verse 3] 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 rob me blind on every street La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la But check your watch and wallet now Before I go and you're too late, uh-huh-huh [Chorus] You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder Yeah
