A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel With a smile on his face The school kids would give me some gin If I would let them in They were shaking all over Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own Can't remember where I'd been I was aching all over From rolling on the stone I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone. Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Kissin' cousins just ain't my style Not like some knight in shining armour Touring with the sideshow That was my blow But we hung on for the fun Lots of fun for everyone Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Till the danger man with his danger plan He took me aside And then he took me apart I was a young man with love in my heart Oh, how he made me pay It was the hard way It was the hard way Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night!
