What A Night
City Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broughton

I'm so happy lying here, reclining in this easy chair,
Wond'rin' what the hell could go wrong.
My mind's confused, my body tired,
I wonder if I'm still alive,
Has Anybody here please got the time
Oh no, the time

(Chorus)
Ooh what a night, Ooh what a night, Ooh what a night, Ooh what
a night, Ooh what a night, Ooh what a night, Ooh what a night,

Now the morning's drawing near, my head she thump from the beer, And
the telephone she ring (who's there?) My God that typist that I floored I
must have drunk more than I thought, Can anybody here please show me
the door Oh no, you want more?





(Chorus repeat)
