[Verse 1]
(Big man in town)
Each day as I grow older
The nights are getting colder
Some day, the sun will shine on me

[Verse 2]
Money, I don't have any
I'm down to my last penny
But, darlin', don't cry over me

[Chorus]
I'll be a big man in town, honest, honey
I'll be a big man in town, promise, darlin'
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see
You'll be proud of me

[Verse 3]
(Big man in town)
They think that I'm a rover
But my rovin' days are over
Some day, your folks will welcome me

[Chorus]
I'll be a big man in town, honest, honey
I'll be a big man in town, promise, darlin'
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see
You'll be proud of me
[Outro]
(Big man in town)
I'm gonna make it
Just wait and see (Just wait and see)
Oh, I'm gonna make it
Just wait and see (Just wait and see)
Ooh
