Cab Calloway - How Big Can You Get? lyrics

How big can you get can you get, can you get
How big can you get
Aren't you big enough yet?
So why are you stretchin'
Up taller than tall
For the bigger you get, the harder you fall

Ooh, how rich can you get
Can you get, can you get
You're gonna regret yes, the richer you get
Remember the more that you're
Achin' to make it's the dough you forget
The government takes

It's true, it's true, oh
What are you to do you multiply
But you can't take it with you when you die

How big can you get can you get, can you get
The bigger you get, ooh, the more you upset
The more you upset
Makes the more that you fret
How big can you get how big can you get

Say Jack, you can never wear more than
One suit at a time
An' wearin' one pair of shoes
That ain't no crime
Who do you wanna be, Bub? Gugenheim?
A hotdog only costs that cada dime
If you'd rather be a Duke or Grand Marquis
Well, you see the latest movies
The same as he they all listen to the radio
An' all for free i'm askin' you, Bub
How big can you be?

How big can you get can you get, can you get
How big can you get
Aren't you big enough yet?
So why are you stretchin'
Up taller than tall
For the bigger you get, the harder you fall

Ooh, how rich can you get
Can you get, can you get
You're gonna regret yes, the richer you get
Remember the more that you're
Achin' to make it's the dough you forget
The government takes

It's true, it's true, oh
What are you to do you multiply
But you can't take it with you when you die

How big can you get can you get, can you get
The bigger you get, ooh, the more you upset
The more you upset
Makes the more that you fret
How big can you get how big can you get
