| 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 |
