Dippy likes smoking cigarettes
Dippy likes alcohol
Dippy likes all kinds of soul destruction
I think it's got him gracefully old

Can’t continue chafing the bit
My fingers are all minus the tips
A friend got railroaded
His pick-ups got eroded
I remembered that on Dippy's last trip

Puts me off retiring early
Puts me off being admired
Puts me off all sorts of social clap-trap
I think it's got me gracefully high

Frustrated at the price that is
My fingers are all minus the tips
A friend got railroaded
His pick-ups got eroded
I rememberеd that on Dippy’s last trip
