Author's Note - Fun song to sing if you try it camp-fire style. From "A Single Man" 1978 [Intro] G D [Verse 1]
      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/B
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
[Verse 2]
       G
So you filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him
And you took him down to the fairground after some action
        C                        G                B                              Em
And by around about a quarter to six, you found a different way to get your kicks

          G                         D                G           G7/B
Up on the real big dipper where you tried an few new tricks, big dipper

        C                        D               G    D
Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks
[Instrumental] G [Bridge]
          C                    G             B                              Em
He hadn't been too keen at the start, now he seems to have a change of heart

             G                    D               G         G7/B
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
[Bridge]
        C                        G            B                      Em
And at around about a quarter to ten, you got up and did it all again

             G                         D                    G        G7/B
He's got his own big dipper and now he knows just what it's for, big dipper

             C                        D              G
He's got his own big dipper, but he's got his eye on yours
[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

G
 Everybody's got a song to sing

                                       C           G
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
[Instrumental] G C G [Outro]
G                     D             G          C
Another ride, another tune, another crazy afternoon

        G          D                  G
Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
