About This Track

'Big Balls' is one of AC/DC's most infamous compositions, a track from 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' composed by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. The song finds Scott, a deceptively clever lyricist, using double entendres by framing ballroom and costume parties as obvious reference to his own testicles. The band had mined this territory before on 'The Jack' and would return to it again, but 'Big Balls' remains the most sustained exercise in the mode. The lyrics adopt the voice of an upper-class socialite whose ballroom is always full, whose balls are always bouncing, and whose events are never small. Scott delivers the performance with deadpan aristocratic poise, the innuendo so relentless it becomes a kind of music-hall farce. The outro abandons pretence entirely, chanting British slang for testicles over the fade.

"Big Balls" is a track by AC/DC, from the album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released 20th September 1976. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Big Balls

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm upper, upper-class, high-society

God's gift to ballroom notoriety

And I always fill my ballroom, the event is never small

The social pages say I've got the biggest balls of all

[Chorus]

I've got big balls, I've got big balls

They're such big balls, and they're dirty big balls

And he's got big balls and she's got big balls

But we've got the biggest balls of them all

[Verse 2]

And my balls are always bouncing, my ballroom always full

And everybody comes and comes again

If your name is on the guest list, no one can take you higher

Everybody says I've got great balls of fire

[Chorus]

I've got big balls, oh, I've got big balls

And they're such big balls, dirty big balls

And he's got big balls and she's got big balls

But we've got the biggest balls of them all

[Verse 3]

Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress

But when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like best

My balls are always bouncing to the left and to the right

It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night

[Chorus]

Oh, we've got big balls, we've got big balls

We've got big balls, dirty big balls

He's got big balls and she's got big balls

But we've got the biggest balls of them all

Oh, we've got big balls, we've got big balls

And I'm just itching to tell you about them (We've got big balls)

(Dirty big balls) Oh, we had such wonderful fun

(And he's got big balls) Seafood cocktail (She's got big balls), crabs

(But we've got the biggest balls of them all) Crayfish

[Outro]

Oh, bollocks, knackers, bollocks, knackers

Bollocks, knackers, bollocks, knackers

Bollocks, knackers, bollocks, knackers

Bollocks, knackers, bollocks, knackers

Bollocks, knackers, bollocks, knackers

Bollocks, knackers, oh—
