“Big Spender” è una canzone scritta da Cy Coleman e Dorothy Fields per il musical “Sweet Charity” nel 1966, poi coreografato da Bob Fosse per Broadway e per la successiva trasposizione cinematografica.
Peggy Lee registrò la canzone nel 1966. La sua versione divenne una hit nella US Easy Listening chart nello stesso anno. Della cantante Frank Sinatra disse: “Il suo meraviglioso talento dovrebbe essere studiato da ogni vocalista, la sua regale presenza è eleganza e charme allo stato puro”.
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn’t you like to know what’s going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey, big spender!
spend a little time with me
Do you wanna have fun?
How’s about a few laughs?
I can show you a good time.
Do you wanna have fun, fun, fun…?
How’s about a few laughs, lauhgs, laughs…?
I can show you a good time, good time.
Fun, Laughs, Goodtime!
What do you say to (how’s abouta) laughs?
I can give you some (are you ready for some) fun?
How would you like a (I can show you a) good time
Hey big spender!
Hey big spender!
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn’t you like to know what’s going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don’t pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey, big spender!
Hey, big spender!
Hey, big spender!
