Lyrics
BIG TIPS

VI
Why would I let somebody six feet tall,
Order off the kids' menu.
Why would I memorize what everyone drinks,
At table number two.
Why do I laugh at the same old joke,
I hear every week from Mr. Smith,
Only one reason and I think you'll agree,
I got big tips.
V2
Why would I sing until 3 AM,
Weekends in a cocktail lounge.
Taking requests from hotel guests,
Drinking their way through town.
Buying me shots as if they had a shot,
At getting lucky on their business trips.
Only one reason and I think you'll agree.
I got big tips.

I used to work in worn out shoes,
Now I walk in Jimmy Choos,
I used to drive an old beat up car,
Now my ride is a new Jaguar.
Big tips will take you far.
