Shirley Bassey - Big Spender & The Liquidator (1967)

Live 1967

Dame Shirley Bassey performing two of my all time favourite Bassey songs in the late 60s.

Lyrics Big Spender:



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 can 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


Lyrics The Liquidator:

The Liquidator
Will soon be coming around
You won't feel safer
Until you get out of town
He's an eraser
He'll rub you out like a light
And for a chaser
He'll kiss your woman good-night

He's a jackal and a Romeo, you know
The devil in disguise
There's no telling where a girl would go, you know
To gaze into his eyes
With the snapping of the fingertips of him
He'll take your life away
And a whisper from the smiling lips of him
Will take your wife away

The Liquidator
Will soon be getting to you
You'll wake up later
Somewhere up in the blue
The undertaker
Would never try to deny
That the Liquidator
Is a hell of a guy

The Liquidattor.

that would be the hardest dress to move and be sexy in yet she does it with such grace and such sex appeal...and then you have the amazing voice!!!!!!! you will forever be the greatest shirley. <3

[MisterCrazyLegs]

this kind of LIVE performing has gone the way of the dinosaur. You wont see this again...and unfortunately, Bassey is one of those vocalist that we wont see again, either.

@sugarshula64 she also wore at a performance in 1989. 2 decades older and it still fit!!!

[sugarshula64]

Wonderful. Also, if memory serves me, the gown Shirley is wearing was worn on the Andy Williams show.

@MisterCrazyLegs

So true. Therefore i'm extremely grateful that can still see Dame Shirley performing live as only she can. She will be performing at Carnegie Hall next week!

[grai]

wow the dress is so gorgeous

[lydee09]

That dress for Big Spender is just too cute! That is some lullaby!:)

Dame Shirley has certainly refined the 'Big Spender' number after all these years. Throughout the years, it has gotten more provocative, always fun. As for 'The Liquidator' DSB raises the roof off of the building. WOW!
