Oh, what a night
Late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
'Cause I remember what a night

Oh, what a night
You know, I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night

Oh, I, I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I
As I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under
Oh, what a night

Oh, I, I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I
As I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under
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)

    These are not the correct lyrics for the song by Steve Allen and Neal Hefti. Those lyrics are correctly shown in the entry for Mel Torme's version on the album "I Dig the Duke! I Dig the Count!"

    The lyrics shown here are for the song written by Bob Gaudio and Judy Parker called "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)."
