Jersey Boys Lyrics
"Big Man in Town"

Big man in town...

Each day as I grow older
The nights are getting colder
Some day the sun will shine on me
Money, I don't have any:
I'm down to my last penny
But, darling, don't cry over me:

I'll be a big man in town (honest, honey)
I'll be a big man in town (promise, darling)
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see:
You'll be proud of me

They think that I'm a rover
But my roving days are over
Someday your folks will welcome me
I went away a small man
But I'll come home a tall man
Then what a pretty bride you'll be

I'll be a big man in town (honest, honey)
I'll be a big man in town (promise, darling)
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see:
You'll be proud of me

I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
Just wait and see
Girl, I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
