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!
