Lyrics by gary osborne
Available on the album a single man
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 couldnt handle any more
Hes got his own big dipper so he wont be needing your big dipper
Hes got his own big dipper and he wont 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 hadnt been too keen at the start
Now he seems to have a change of heart
Hes got his own big dipper
Only now hes not so sure, big dipper
Hes got his own big dipper
But theres always room for more
Everybodys got a song to sing
Everybodys 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
Hes got his own big dipper and now he knows just what its for
Big dipper
Hes got his own big dipper but hes got his eye on yours
Another ride, another tune
Another crazy afternoon
Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
