I smoke a big cigar, I drive a Cadillac car
I wear a great big diamond ring
I smoke a big cigar, I drive a Cadillac car
I wear a great big diamond ring
Yes, the men'll call me shorty
Just as long as the girls call me king

Yes, the men'll call me shorty
But I'm five foot from the ground
Yes, the men'll call me shorty
But I'm five foot from the ground
'Cause the girls call me daddy
I'm the biggest little man in town

I don't work for a living
I'm a really in the know, yeah
I don't work for a living
I'm a really in the know
I got a way with the women
And they give all their dough
(Let's go!)

I smoke a big cigar, I drive a Cadillac car
I wear a great big diamond ring
I smoke a big cigar, I drive a Cadillac car
I wear a great big diamond ring
Yes, the men'll call me shorty
Just as long as the girls call me king

Yeah, the men'll call me shorty
But I'm five foot from the ground, woo-ha
Yeah, the men'll call me shorty
But I'm five foot from the ground
But the girls call me daddy
I'm the biggest little man in town

I don't work for a living
I'm a really in the know, yeah
I don't work for a living
I'm a really in the know
I got a way with the women
And they give all their dough
