[Verse 1][Acoustic Guitar]
The knot is tied, the vows are done, the cake's been cut and eaten
The bride is blushing, groom's high-strung, the guests are all competin'
To raise a glass and make a toast, to a future bright and bold
But as the night grows even more, a different story's told

[Pre-Chorus][Fiddle Picking Up Tempo]
The ale is flowing, spirits high, the music starts to sway
And whispers pass from eye to eye, as inhibitions fray
The old man grins, the lads all wink, a mischievous delight
For soon the moon will start to sink, and banish weary night

[Chorus][Rowdy Folk, Accordion]
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?
With a lass so fair and a heart so light, dipping your wick tonight!
Forget your troubles, hold her tight, dipping your wick tonight!
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?

[Verse 2][Banjos Join In]
The maidens giggle, blush and preen, their petticoats are showing
A playful look, a knowing mien, as true desire's glowing
The groom's been warned by those who know, of pleasures yet to find
So let the revels ebb and flow, and leave the day behind

[Pre-Chorus][Fiddle and Accordion Driving]
The ale is flowing, spirits high, the music starts to sway
And whispers pass from eye to eye, as inhibitions fray
The old man grins, the lads all wink, a mischievous delight
For soon the moon will start to sink, and banish weary night

[Chorus][Rowdy Folk, Accordion, Faster]
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?
With a lass so fair and a heart so light, dipping your wick tonight!
Forget your troubles, hold her tight, dipping your wick tonight!
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?

[Bridge][Slightly Slower, More Intimate]
Some will find a tender kiss, some a more passionate embrace
But all will find a moment's bliss, in this joyous, wild place
Let nature's call be your guide, beneath the starry dome
No need to hide, let passion ride, until the morning come

[Chorus][Full Folk Band, Energetic]
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?
With a lass so fair and a heart so light, dipping your wick tonight!
Forget your troubles, hold her tight, dipping your wick tonight!
Will you be dipping your wick tonight, boy, dipping your wick tonight?

[Outro][Fading Accordion and Laughter]
Dipping your wick tonight!
Aye, dipping your wick tonight!
Heh heh heh... good lad!
