Big Dipper

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.

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.
