Lovin' Spoonful, The - You're A Big Boy Now Lyrics
I know there's things you never thought before
That have to do with walkin' out old doors
You've been prepared as long as time allowed.
Well I don't know how but you're a big boy now
You know the girls are taking notice of you
They say your hair is getting curly too
So shave today, you'll shave tomorrow as well
You're run by you and not a class-room bell.
And I don't know how but you're a big boy now.
And the great big world daddy threw before you
With the pretty faces and the claws that tore you
And love will make you strong as a team of wild horses.
I know there's things you never thought before
That have to do with walkin' out old doors
You've been prepared as long as time allowed.
Well I don't know how but you're a big boy now
Come on and take a bow 'cause you're a big boy now.
Come on and take a bow 'cause you're a big boy now

still my fav John song. love the guitar work as i get older of their tunes
Reminds me of my son. #IndieRaps
Great :)
For you
The version featured in that episode of FRIENDS was not this one, it was the one sung by John Sebastian (alone) playing the guitare: John Sebastian - You're A Big Boy Now
i liked the movie version because i liked the instruments from the orchestra
thank you kind sir. i knew this wasnt it
Thanks Marcelo thanks Ross thanks friends
San Diego buddy
Every time I click this song it sounds different. Lol
It's funny how we remember a song or a tune during those milestone moments. As a new father, I instantly thought of my son while hearing it, and we shared the same emotion Joe. Thank you for sharing your experience,
I was sitting in a rocking chair at NYU Hospital 18 years ago today, holding my newly-born son in my arms and singng this song to him with tears in my eyes. Now he's away at college. He is a big boy now, and when he called me today I was all teary-eyed at the sound of his voice. What can I say?
try this mate : /watch?v=zwYBDkYFg80
just watched the episode :D
@BlairMan89 I watched the episode just now for the third time, see im watching the whole 10 seasons trough for the 3rd time now. And ive only had them for half of year.. Best show there ever was or is.
@1997jonathan12 I just looked this song up because I watched that episode about twenty minutes ago.
ｺｯﾎﾟﾗ監督初期の青春ﾌｨﾙﾑ､"You A Big Boy Now",ﾗヴｨﾝ･ｽﾌﾟｰﾝﾌﾙのｺｰﾗｽが嬉しかった!ただし､日本では正式公開しなかった! #eiga
I have John doing this (with just an acoustic guitar that's plugged in), and another song live on the Dean Martin show. Unfortunatley it's on a betamax tape and I dont have a Betamax no more.
@1997jonathan12 ooo yeah ¡¡ this part is so sad sniff sniff, marcel go to san diego, to zoo.
thumbs up if rob dyreks fantasy factory brought you here
@sagrocket is that that what your dad says to you? boom babaay!
@HOEHOEHOLLY i'll get it high enough for u 2 suck it
@sagrocket
cant you get it up :P sag-rocket!
@1997jonathan12
YES! thats why i looked it up..i liked it :)
i like this song because it comes out in friends when ross leaves marcel (his monkey)lets him go to la or something
@vocalist92 fuck u
one of the most pleasant, relaxed voices of all time, he could fit in the same category as smokey, ottis and alot of the great mo-town singers.
rob and big bitch lmao
One of the better, but unappreciated Spoonful songs.
A heavily orchestrated slicker version was on the 'B' side of Six O Clock.
I prefer that one but this is okay too.
This recording is from the album You're a big boy now,(on cd available together with What's up Tiger Lily) which has also 2 other versions: Dixieland Big Boy and "The Finale"
Sebastians solo album "John B. Sebastian" has another version.The 45 record is indeed different.
I like quite a lot of Sixties songs for my age lol ^_^ Beatles, Lovin' Spoonful etc.
This must be a Re-Recording because this song sounds noticeably different from the flip side that I just listened to on the 45 record. The instrumental near the ending of the record isn't even on the 45 rpm version. Wonder where this version is taken from?
Still, this is an excellent song. Thanks.
The instrumental near the end is on the version I grew up with,and that was on a greatest hits album of theirs we had in the 70s. "Shave today,and shave tomorrow",this song must have been JUST before the hippie era.
it used to be on YT but i can no longer find it...
yea but john sebastian does the best version of it
Another great Spoonful track! These guys really gelled - musically and vocally. (Has the film ever been shown on British tv?)
Walt, right. I believe it was on the "John B Sebastian" album..his first solo endeavor.
I remember the movie, it was awesome.
a young richard dreyfuss starred in a movie titled the apprenticeship of duddy kravitz, anyone familiar with the screen version of this song and who performed it ?...i recall it was instumental
For whatever reason, this was the only Lovin' Spoonful single that didn't chart at all. Perhaps it wasn't psychedelic enough for the summer of '67.
I love this song and the movie too
