Big Shiny Nine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big shiny nine she's mine all mine
Showing down the front of my old blue jeans
Big shiny nine she'll fall so fine
Waiting to impress my hippie queen

[Chorus]
It's all right now
I'm fingering my big black shiny nine

[Verse 2]
Sticks and stones
Skeleton bones
Enough to make the dead jump and run
Encyclopedia hasn't got what I need
Because I'm waiting to undress my hippie queen

[Chorus]
It's all right now
I'm fingering my big black shiny nine

[Verse 3]
Nuts and bolts
Smith & Wesson and Colts
It's down to luger can't make a selection
Stealing steeds and film
Scraping bottom again
Oh lord i'm headed in a direction
[Chorus]
It's all right now
My shiny nine I have my shiny nine
It's all right now
I'm fingering my big black shiny nine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
