I worked it out.
Cm
I've been,
Stretching my mouth,
Gm
To let those big,
Words come right out.
C7
I've had enough,
I'm getting out,
Gm
To the city,
The big, big city.
Cm
I'll be a big noise,
With all the big boys,
Gm
There's so much,
Stuff I will own.

To a big God,

As I kneel in,
The big church.

My parties have,

All the big names,
And I greet them,

Tell them how my life,
Gm
Is one big ad—venture.
C7
And always they're amazed,
When I show them 'round,
Gm
My house, to my bed.

I had it made like,
A mountain range,

With a snow—white pillow,
For my big fat head.

Be a big heaven,

And I will walk,
Through the front door.

And the bulge,
In my big big big,
Gm
Big big big big.
