Lyrics
Chorus:
He’s getting too darn big for a small town
He ought to be in New York
He has seen a champagne cork
He’s even eating with his fork
He knows at least a dozen of “troopers”
He’s got a tie from Siegel and Cooper’s
And his name stamped in the inside of his hat
Think-a that, think-a that
Down there on Broadway is the place where he belongs
He knows “Bedelia” and the other latest songs
He’s got a watch with an open crystal
And a walking cane with a pistol
He’s getting too darn big for a one-horse town
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
