Big Dipper

Cigarettes and carrot juice

Get yourself a new tattoo

For those sleeveless days of June

I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho steps

With a book I haven't started yet

Watching all the girls walk by

Could I take you out

I'd be yours without a doubt

On that big dipper

And if the sound of this it frightens you

We could play it real cool

And act somewhat indifferent

And hey June

Why'd you have to come

Why'd you have to come around so soon

I wasn't ready for all this nature

The terrible green, green grass

The violent blooms of flower dresses

And afternoons that make me sleepy

But we could wait awhile

Before we push that dull turnstile

Into the passage

The thousands they have tread

And others sometimes fled

Before the turn came

And we could wait our lives

Before a chance arrives

Before the passage

From the top you can see Monterey

Or think about San Jose

Although I know it's not that pleasant

And hey Jim Kerouac

Brother of the famous Jack

Or so he likes to say, lucky bastard

He's sitting on the Cafe Zinho steps

With a girl that I'm not over yet

Watching all the world go by

Boy you're looking bad

Did I make you feel that sad?

I'm honestly flattered

But if she asks me out

I'd be hers without a doubt

On that big dipper

A cigarette and carrot juice

And get yourself a new tattoo

For those sleeveless days of June

I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho steps

I haven't got the courage yet

I haven't got the courage yet

I haven't got the courage yet
