Jethro Tull - Big Dipper

[Luca Canetti]

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.
I'll 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.
Well, I'm the big dipper; it's the weekend.
Big dipper; it's the weekend rage.

Rich, widowed landlady,
Give me your spare front door key.
If you're thirty'nine or over,
I'll make love to you next Thursday.
Oh well, I may stay over for a week or two,
Drop a postcard to me Mum.
I'll see you at the waltzer;
We'll go big-dipping daily.

Well, I'm the big dipper; it's the weekend....
Big dipper, it's the weekend rage.
Big dipper, it's the weekend rage.
