Diana Ross - Big Ben/C.C. Rider lyrics

Eleanora, you're late again girl
You done missed two
Tricks already you better get
The spirit, sister
And get yourself on up them
Steps and quit your lollygagging
Didn't you mama teach you how to close
Doors? If you don't want this job
Somebody else sure do

Ooo wee, you fine, young thing!
You're new in the neighborhood so, honey
I got to love you real good!
Ooh, looky here what Lorraine done sent to me
I never accomplished any great feats
But you know something
Baby? I'm something еlse under them sheets!
You see my fathеr was a jockey
And he taught me how to ride
He said, Big Ben
You got to get it from side to side!
Now, in case you don't know who I
Am, I'm Big Ben, baby! yeah, the lover man!
We gonna have ourselves a ball tonight
Lorraine done sent me this
Fine dinner young and tender this
Is where her head was won't be there when I
Get through 'Cause, see, i'm from
The city, and I'm gonna
Kiss your little titty, haha!
Young, and fine
And mellow light as a feather
Big Ben told all his men
"Don't you take no numbers
After half past ten!"
What's wrong with you, woman?
Ain't nothing personal, mister
But I just quit the business

Ain't this a killer? Lorraine! Hey
Lorraine! Lorraine!

What's happening? Who's making all
That noise up there?

He said his name is Big Ben

Big Ben? Ain't you supposed to
Be upstairs with Big Ben?

I ain't doing it

What you mean you ain't doing it
Girl? You give my place a bad
Name big Ben's the best customer
I got you can't do that all
The girls love Big Ben
He's my best customer
And I'm trying to make something out of
You i sent him up to you
Now, what's the matter with you, girl?
You better get the spirit, sister
And get on back upstairs and do your work
The Lord knows I'm trying to help you

Miss Edson, honey, I done quit

Done quit?
Well, you get on away from around here
Then 'Cause you ain't nothing you ain't
Never been nothing, and you ain't gonna be
Nothing 'Cause you don't
Go messing like that with Big Ben

That's right!
