David Lee Roth (born October 10 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, perhaps best known for his work with the band Van Halen and his fast-talking, oversized personality. He left Van Halen at the pinnacle of his tenure with them in 1985 (being replaced by Montrose's Sammy Hagar) and formed a solo band. After some time spent performing lounge jazz to small audiences, Roth recruited a wondergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Greg Bisonette (drums), and released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album in 1986. For a while, Roth's success equaled that of his own band; but while Van Halen became huge with Hagar behind the mic, DLR's star faded over time. After the impressive dream-team line-up of the David Lee Roth band imploded due to ego, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) was bought into the fold in 1989.

No Big 'Ting Lyrics

David Lee Roth

Can't seem to sew
A single hole in my pocket
Lord, I've tried
Yeah, money talks
I should know
Mine always says, "Goodbye"
And I know that money can't buy love
I've parked my speedboat next to some
This jungleness badboy sufferer
Yes I have
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big t'ing
No big thing
Time for these bootheels to be wanderin'
Towards those burning sands
A genetical testimony
That white boys simply cannot dance
Can't let that little stuff trip you up
I'll take the fattest chance
Now I've got the answer
To a question no one asked
So, here's two rules
I got for you
Great ones for living under
First, don't sweat that little shit
Second is, there ain't no other
Tattoos, scars, and missing parts
And all the rich have ever proven
Is they are to life
What American Bandstand is to the theory of evolution
Price of an education
Least now I know it's no big t'ing
No big thing
Who needs the aggrevation
Least now I know it's no big ting
Stamps in my passport
Now they're polaroids and drinkin' stories
And I've got some good ones
Now it's getting harder to ignore me
Now I'm believing half the reason
Just for leavin'is coming home
Where ya been
Who'd ya do
What'ya done?
I'll be lounging on the Rivera
Rivera couch that is...
When you're surfin' 40 footers
You don't need no tricks
The future's looking brigher
Every beer that I pour in me
But even this I have to say
With absolute uncertainty
Too much exasperation
Least now I know it's no big t'ing
No big tc
