Johnny Burnette - Big Big World


91 27th Avenue
Walked up to the door: "Hello sir, how are you?
No, I'm just lookin' for a friend livin' in Apartment 10
You say she's gone? Please, how long has it been?"

CHORUS:
It's a big big city, it's a big big world
How's a boy gonna find a little pretty girl
In this big big world?

Goin' out to find myself a telephone
Got a pocketful of dimes; I know her last name is Jones
Joneses, Joneses, oh I see, page 19 to 23
Big big world can be unkind
The phone just took my last dime

(chorus)

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
