Big Boy

Shoeshine boy gave me a nickel
With a smile on his face
Schoolkids would slip me some gin
If I would let them in
They were shakin' all over
Run into a friend
With a lonely lady on his arm
Woke up in a garage
I was holding my own
I was aching all over
From rolling on the stones
Aching all over
Rolling on the stones
Oh what a night you can have
When you're a big boy
Oh what a night you can have
When you're a big boy
Kissing cousins just isn't my style
Like some knight in shining armour
Touring with the side show
That was my blow
Till the ranger man
With the danger plan
Took me aside
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
Oh what a night you can have
When you're a big boy
Oh what a night you can have
When you're a big boy
What a night
You can have......
