THE LAST OF THE BIG GUYS

The last of the big guys
is taking the floor
His words and his music are poised
He’s been there before
We all know the score
And we all hear our own big guy’s voice

The last of the big guys
is singing again
So roll up your sleeves and join in
The old party pieces
are sounding the same
As they did when we first heard them sing

Chorus
So here’s to the last of the big guys
Here’s to the rest of the gang
Close your eyes and remember
The days when everyone sang

The new young pretenders
are having their say
But lacking the last big guy’s flair
So push back the tables
Get out of the way
And let a real singer up there

Chorus
Here’s to the last of the big guys
Here’s to the rest of the gang
Close your eyes and remember
The days when everyone sang

So stand up
And let us hear your song
We don’t really care who you are
The young and the old
And the ones in-between
Just remember the big guy’s the star

Chorus
Here’s to the last of the big guys
Here’s to the rest of the gang
Close your eyes and remember
The days when everyone sang

Here’s to the last of the big guys
Here’s to a long time to come
Remember that we are the people we are
Thanks to the songs that they sung
