Oh What a Night
Clock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, what a night.
Late December back in sixty three.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.

It was a night that I won't forget.
I haven't had another one like it yet
And even though I didn't catch her name,
I knew I was never gonna be the same.
I can't describe how she made me feel
but she had her body shaking, head spinning like a wheel
Seemed so wrong, now it seems so right
Oh what a lady. Oh what a night.

Oh, I. I get a funny feeling when he walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)

I keep callin' her up,
I like the way she talks,
Even get a funny feeling with the way she walks,
I really don't care about this about that,
'Cause all I really want's another night like that
Can't help thinkin' about the things we did then,
Answer me "Can we do it again?"
It seemed so wrong, now it seems so right
Oh what a lady. Oh what a night.

Oh, I. I get a funny feeling when he walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
Oh, what a night!
(Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do.)
