You try much harder when you're number two
You'll stop at nothing 'til you get on through
And if you make it you know how to stay
Don't let new number two get in your way

Hey Mr. Big, wouldn't wanna be you
Though there is nothing you cannot do

Mr. Executive, no telling you
Jealousy, treachery, what won't you do
Don't accept ideas from those who know more
Power is everything, you've got the floor

Hey Mr. Big, wouldn't wanna be you
Though there is nothing you cannot do

Hey Mr. Big, are you happy now
Hey Mr. Big, does your conscience feel at ease
Hey Mr. Big, you've got more than you need
But you don't have everything you want
Hey Mr. Big, you never do
You're gonna be a lonely, lonely man some day

Hey Mr. Big, wouldn't wanna be you
Though there is nothing you cannot do

Hey Mr. Big, are you happy now
Hey Mr. Big, does your conscience feel at ease
Hey Mr. Big, you've got more than you need
Hey Mr. Big, but you don't have everything you want
Hey Mr. Big, you never do
You're gonna be a lonely man, lonely man some day

Extra, extra, read all about it
Your name's in lights and the people they shout it
But when the judgement day finally comes due
You'll get just one line on page twenty-two
