There is a man they call Big Nick
He's such a kick
He likes to play
The bebop lick
Though big in size
His eyes
Show small surprise
That Nick he's slick
He likes
The subtle lick
The reed before he puts it on
It's solid gone
The man is cool
It ain't no school
He'll carry on
Till dawn
But when he's gone
That Nick he's slick
He likes to play
With the feel of life
Under the wheel of life
With the appeal of life
That's Big Nick
