LIKE THE BIG GUYS DO
(Horace Ott / Bob Elgin)


Harry H. Corbett - 1963





(Like the big guys do)
I wanta do it
(Like the big guys do)
I wanta do it

Yes, very nice!

Down on the corner every night
That's where you'll find me under the light
Watching the pretty girls pass my way
Hoping that one will be mine someday

I wanta hold someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Love someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Kiss someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Every night
Tell someone my love is true
I wanta do the things that the big guys do

Why do they always pass me by
Why don't they stop when I give them the eye
Why don't those pretty girls ever see
That there's a lot o' lovin' in a little packet like me

I wanta hold someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Kiss someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Love someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Every night
Tell someone my love is true
I wanta do the things that the big guys do

I wanta tell them lies (Like the big guys do)
I wanta treat them bad (Like the big guys do)
I wanta break their hearts (Like the big guys do)
I wanta make them sad (Very nice!)
Every day, to someone new
I wanta do the things that the big guys do

I wanta hold someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Love someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Kiss someone (Yeah! Yeah!)
Every night
Tell someone my love is true
I wanta do the things that the big guys do

(Like the big guys do) I wanta tell them lies
(Like the big guys do) I wanta treat them bad
(Like the big guys do) I wanta break their hearts
(Like the big guys do) I wanta make them sad

How about that then, doll
(I'll give it one!)
You'll give it what
(I'll give it foive!)
I should think you would an' all
If I'd though you were so musical
I wouldn't 'ave asked you round 'ere tonight
Give us my chocolates back
I've never 'eard anything like it in my life
That's a good piece of waxin' that ....... FADE
