Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!

I always dreamed of being in the spotlight
I knew, I'd get there in a matter of time
So, I headed downtown
Headed for the big time
I left the boy that was me behind

Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat

I always did like the parties
And the fast life
A life of glitter beats a life of crimе
Back where I come from
Lifе ain't worth a thin dime
Scratch your way out or you'll stay and die

I was born to hear the drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the streets
And it led me to the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to win and fame to be won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat

Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!
Big city, big city, big city beat! R-r-raah!

I left the boy that was me behind

Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to win and fame to be won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat

Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat
