I used to shiver in the wings But then I was young I used to shiver in the wings Till I found my own tongue I sock 'em everywhere that I sing Cause you know baby I'm the Next Big Thing I knocked 'em dead in Dallas And I didn't pay my dues Yeah, I knocked 'em dead in Dallas They didn't know we were Jews I sock 'em everywhere that I sing Cause you know baby I'm the Next Big Thing I'm a fuel injected legend I don't wanna be a bore I just wanna live a rich life And I wanna die poor But I won't be happy Till I'm known far and wide With my face on the cover of the TV guide I sock 'em everywhere that I sing Cause you know baby I'm the Next Big Thing
