Lyrics Jethro Tull – Big Dipper
Text:
The mist rolls off the beaches:
the train rolls into the station.
Weekend happiness seekers — pent-up saturation.
Well, we don’t mean anyone any harm,
we weren’t on the Glasgow train.
See you at the Pleasure Beach:
roller-coasting heroes.
Big Dipper riding —
we’ll give the local lads a hiding
if they keep us from the ladies
hanging out in the penny arcades.
Shaking up the Tower Ballroom
throwing up in the bathroom.
Landlady’s in the backroom —
I’m the Big Dipper —
it’s the weekend rage.
See you at the Pleasure Beach:
roller-coasting heroes.
Big Dipper riding —
we’ll give the local lads a hiding
if they keep us from the ladies
hanging out in the penny arcades.
Shaking up the Tower Ballroom
throwing up in the bathroom.
Landlady’s in the backroom —
I’m the Big Dipper —
it’s the weekend rage.
Rich widowed landlady give me your spare front door key.
If you’re 39 or over, I’ll make love to you next Thursday —
I may stay over for a week or two
drop a postcard to my mum.
I’ll see you at the waltzer —
we’ll go big-dipping daily.
