I wanted to be on a stage
With bright lights shinin' on me
At Carnegie I polished up my act
Knew the crowd can see
I had a knack sand that's a fact
Glamor and fame
Was much more than a crazy game
I had to play now I got my wish
I don't know if I can handle this
But I think I'm gonna win
In the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
So I made it there
And an Asian hand was my cadre
Star of the year following the steps
I'm the best in Broadway
East and West
I passed the test
It's all too much
With the interviews
Reviews and such
I'm very touched
And I closed my mind
All the autographs I have to sign
When there's so little time
And I'm in the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
I was born to funk
I was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
I was born to funk
I was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself a fine time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself some fun
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself a fine time
Now in the big time
Gonna have myself some fun
I was born to funk
I was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
He was born to funk
He was born to funk in
Roll in the big time
I wanted to be on a stage
With bright lights shinin' on me
At Carnegie I polished up my act
Knew the crowd can see I had a knack
And that's a fact
Glamor and fame
Was much more than a crazy game
I had to play, now I got my wish
I don't know if I can handle this
But I think I'm gonna win
In the big time, big time
And I know success is all mine, all mine
In the big time, big time
Gonna have the best of times
