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

You gotta look sharp!

You gotta look sharp!

And you gotta have no illusions

Just keep goin' your way, lookin' over your shoulder

Okay, what you say?

Tell me what they're wearin' this year

Go on and laugh at me

'Cause you don't see that I got somethin' goin' right here

Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid

Well, hey, 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 goin' your way lookin' over your shoulder

Hey

Big shot, thanks a lot

Gotta go, it's gettin' late

I gotta date with my tailor now

Thanks for puttin' me so straight

Tell me how they run the crime down 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

You gotta look sharp!

You gotta look sharp!

And you gotta have no illusions

Just keep goin' your way, lookin' over your shoulder

Yeah
