I've been thru a lotta states and a lotta towns most of them have different names   But you'll find the streets all run the same   Girls are a lot like this if you work it right and I do this well   How I do it is my secret and I refuse to tell   But I'll tell you I'm a big operator I know how to talk that talk   I can talk my way into their hearts without even tryin'   Yes I'm a big operator I know how to walk that walk   You can bet when I walk away I'll leave 'em smilin'      There are many girls in every town that I have left behind   But that don't ever trouble my mind   I won't look back now but if I ever change someday when I get old   Then I'll have these memories to keep away the cold   For they call me a big operator...   [ trumpet ]   I'll be smooth as glass if you want me to or rough as desert sand   It depends on what you want in a man   My aim is to please and I believe I do for a back track many times   I was always welcomed by the ones I left behind   You can see that I'm a big operator...
