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
Got a call from a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
I can't remember where I'd been
I was aching all over
Rolling on the stone
I was aching all over, 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
Uuh, but we hung on for the fun
Uuh, 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!
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
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 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
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
What a night you can have!
What a night you can have!
What a night you can have!
What a night you can have!
What a night you can have!
