ABOUT the song:

This version featured in the 2004 film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, and in the 2005 film Nynne. The song has become one of Bassey's signature songs.

The song was also featured on Shirley's recent, 'Get The Party Started' CD.

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 show 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
