Got a snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
As the elephant say
I'm livin' in a great big way

Got a handful of nothin'
And I watch it like a hawk
Well I'm doin' OK
I'm livin' in a great big way

I'm the salt in the ocean
I'm the sun in the sky
I'm a Franklin D. Roosevelt
I'm a million dollars
Long as I've got a

Snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
Got the devil to pay
I'm livin' in a great big way.
