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!         (cleminson)   (copyright 1980 eiger music ltd.)   All rights reserved.   Lyrics usde by permission only.reproduction prohibited.   Copyright 1980 a&m records, inc.
