Now I saw you talking to a cute little slip of a sailor

And it looked at first like the whole thing would end as a failure

He had a thing about a quarter to four

And he just couldn't handle any more

He's got his own big dipper so he won't be needing your big dipper

He's got his own big dipper and he won't be needing yours



So you filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him

And you took him down to the fairground after some action

And by around about a quarter to six

You found a different way to get your kicks

Up on the real big dipper where you tried an few new tricks

Big dipper

Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks



He hadn't been too keen at the start

Now he seems to have a change of heart

He's got his own big dipper

Only now he's not so sure, big dipper

He's got his own big dipper

But there's always room for more



Everybody's got a song to sing

Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper



And at around about a quarter to ten

You got up and did it all again

He's got his own big dipper and now he knows just what it's for

Big dipper

He's got his own big dipper but he's got his eye on yours



Another ride, another tune

Another crazy afternoon

Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
