      G
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
           C                       G                 B                   Em
He had a thing about a quarter to four, and he just couldn't handle any more
             G                     D                    G      G7 
He's got his own big dipper so he won't be needing your, big dipper
             C                      D                G    D
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 a few new tricks
Big dipper
Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks

           C                     G
He hadn't been too keen at the start,
        B                            Em
now he seems to have a change of heart
             G                     D               G          G7 
He's got his own big dipper, only now he's not so sure, big dipper
             C                           D                G
He's got his own big dipper, but there's always room for more

Chorus:
G
Everybody's got a song to sing
                                        C           G
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
G
Everybody's got a song to sing
                                        C           G
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

Chorus:
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper

Another ride, another tune
Another crazy afternoon
Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
