Big Dipper
Navigating the Thrills of the Big Dipper: Elton John's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Now I saw you talking to a cute little slip of a sailor
Observing someone interacting with a young and inexperienced sailor
And it looked at first like the whole thing would end as a failure
Initially, it seemed like the situation would not end well
He had a thing about a quarter to four
The sailor had an issue or concern around 3:45
And he just couldn't handle any more
He couldn't cope with the situation anymore
He's got his own big dipper so he won't be needing your big dipper
The sailor has his own unique experiences, so he doesn't require what you offer
He's got his own big dipper and he won't be needing yours
Reiterating that the sailor has his own experiences and doesn't need yours
So you filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him
You tried to comfort him with various things
And you took him down to the fairground after some action
Took him to the amusement park for some excitement
And by around about a quarter to six
By approximately 5:45
You found a different way to get your kicks
You found a different way to entertain yourself
Up on the real big dipper where you tried an few new tricks
Experimented with new actions or techniques on a roller coaster
Big dipper
Repetition of "Big dipper"
Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks
Continuation of experimenting or learning new things on the roller coaster
He hadn't been too keen at the start
The sailor wasn't enthusiastic initially
Now he seems to have a change of heart
Now he appears to have a change of opinion
He's got his own big dipper
Reaffirming that the sailor has his own experiences
Only now he's not so sure, big dipper
But now he's uncertain about it
He's got his own big dipper
Emphasizing again that he has his own experiences
But there's always room for more
However, there's still an openness to more experiences
Everybody's got a song to sing
Everyone has their own story to share or path to follow
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
Everyone needs to pursue their desires or interests
And at around about a quarter to ten
By about 9:45
You got up and did it all again
Repeated the cycle of events
He's got his own big dipper and now he knows just what it's for
The sailor understands his experiences now
Big dipper
Reiteration of "Big dipper"
He's got his own big dipper but he's got his eye on yours
The sailor has his own experiences but is interested in yours
Another ride, another tune
Another cycle, another experience
Another crazy afternoon
Another wild or unconventional time
Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
Another reason to cherish your own unique experiences
