corded by Shirley Bassey in the same year and released on a single and this one reached position No. 21 in December 1967 in the British charts. On the US and Spain issue of the album And We Were Lovers there is a different recording arranged and directed by Ernest Freeman. In England and other count
ries the version was arranged by Alyn Ainsworth and this is the version that you get on all the re-releases. Another studio version was released 1984 on the album I Am What I Am with the London Symphony Orchestra. From the sixties to this day "Big Spender" is an essential part of every live concert,
so this song is available on many live recordings, and also on the videos. At some recent concerts she did this number even twice consecutively. A remix of Shirley's original version, done by "Wild Oscar", has been released in September 2000 on The Remix Album...Diamonds Are Forever. The song is
taken from the musical "Sweet Charity". The premiere of this musical was on Saturday, January 29th, 1966 in the Palace Theatre, New York and was a big hit with 608 performances. The director was Bob Fosse and his wife Gwen Verdon was the singing star of the musical on Broadway. The story is loosely
based on Federico Fellini's film "Nights Of Cabiria", about a sweet-hearted Italian prostitute. "It tells the story of an eternally hopeful but repeatedly disappointed dance club hostess." "Sweet Charity" was nominated for a Tony Award in two categories. "Big Spender" was also a hit in the easy lis
tening charts for Peggy Lee. Freddie Mercury has performed this song too. "Big Spender" with Shirley Bassey was part of the soundtrack of the film "Little Voice" 1998 and is available on the soundtrack CD. In the OK! magazine interview Shirley Bassey stated that this song is one of her favourites
among her own songs. Her other favourite is Kiss Me, Honey, Honey, Kiss Me. She said: "I never tire of them because they're fun numbers in which audiences join in." Lyrics The minute you walked in the joint I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender Good looking, so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind? So let me get right to the point I don't pop my cork for every man I see Hey big spender! Spend a little time with me Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun? How's about a few laughs, laughs? I could show you a good time Let me sho
w you a good time The minute you walked in the joint I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender Good looking, so refined Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind? So let me get right to the point I don't pop my cork for every man I see Hey big spender! Hey
big spender! Hey big spender! Spend a little time with me Yes (Transcribed by Roman) Lyrics Hey Jude: Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go o
ut and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better. And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder. Hey Jude, don't let me do
wn. You have found her, now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, You're waiting for someone to perform with. And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, The movement you need is on yo
ur shoulder. Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her under your skin, Then you'll begin to make it: Better better better better better better, oh. Na na na na na ,na na na, hey Jude
