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 thats a fact 

Glammer 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 funkin roll in the big time 

He was born to funk 

He was born to funkin roll in the big time 



I was born to funk 

I was born to funkin roll in the big time 

He was born to funk 

He was born to funkin roll in the big time 

He was born to funk 

He was born to funkin 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 funkin roll in the big time 

He was born to funk 

He was born to funkin 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 thats a fact 

Glammer 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
