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
Oooh
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

(Spoken)
Say Jack why do you need your own space program and such?
Tryin’ to leave the planet? What’s your rush?
Who d ya wanna be bub
Elon Musk?
You know that cat’s rockets spontaneously combust?!
If you’d rather be a Duke or a Grand Marquis
You can see the latest movies the same as he
They all listen to talk radio and all for free
I’m asking you Bub
How big can you be?
