   >She was a day tripper   
   >One-way ticket, yeah   
   >It took me so long to find out

   >She was a day tripper   
   >Sunday driver, yeah

   >Day tripper, yeah   
   >Day tripper, yeah   
   >Day tripper

   >Meaning in the Song:          The song uses "day tripper" metaphorically   
   >to describe a girl who isn't interested in a serious commitment, but   
   >just a casual fling.   
      
   I know almost all of the words by heart (except that part with   
   "one-night stand"), having first heard the song when I was way too   
   young to understand any of the above explanation.   
      
   Let me check: late 1965, in the Netherlands probably early 1966, so I   
   was 10 or 11 years old.
