Hello Big Man Lyrics - Songs From The Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon/Peter Wood) 

He started a company 

When he was a young man 

handsome, and like a reed so tall 

With a face like an old photograph 

She would fall for him 

Fall for him 

She would fall 

She wore her mother's cocktail dress 

With saddle shoes 

She was pretty and she was small 

She worked the switchboard 

Down the hall from him 

Down the hall

Chorus: 

He said: 'Hello little woman' 

She said: 'Hello big man' 

And that was how the wooing 

And the winning began 

He said: 'Hello little woman' 

She said: 'Hello big man' 

Of course New York in those days 

Was carriage rides and matinees 

He took her to a ball 

At the Waldorf Astoria 

He would fall for her 

Fall for her, he would fall 

Chorus 

Photos 

You could hear them laugh 

As they danced in their room 

And the shadows on the avenue 

Rose into a jealous moon 

Which swung low in the dawn like 

To see what was going on with those two 

you keep on expecting 

Something to go wrong 

And nothing does 

They still live in the house 

Where we were born 

Pictures of us kids 

Hanging up all over the walls 

And some say he built his empire 

For wealth and toil 

But, if you ask him why 

He'll say he did it all for her 

All for her 

All for her 

Chorus
