lyrics

BEACH PARTY!

Listen for my call
Keep checkin’ the mail
They unlocked my cell
And now I’m getting’ outta jail
The California coast
Is where I go for fun
Jump in that Ho-Dad machine
And meet me there by 1:00
Call up all your pals
Tell them to call their friends
Sun stroke setting in
The list just doesn’t end
Aint got no air condition
No radio FM
Riot on the main drag
Traffic jam again
The number 9 greyhound
Driver’s going nuts
Strapping 20 surfboards
To the roof of the bus
My buddies up the river
They’re all turning green
And any workin’ man aint
Coming in this week
Schools letting out
In the early afternoon
The kids are going crazy
They just wanna move
You bet they’re coming down
They got nothing to lose
And no one ever
Really has anything to do

Chorus:
Dancing’s filthy stuff
I hear ‘em roar
I try to keep it clean
But I just get bored
They tell me that I drink
When I should pray
I tell ‘em they can talk all day
Just don’t step on my
BEACH PARTY!

Everybody’s driving down
At twice the posted speed
The sun’s already setting
You can’t escape the heat
Roll the windows down
Mop up all the sweat
Collecting on your knuckles
And rolling down your neck
Truck filled up with Standard
Van filled up with smoke
1000 people coming, man
That aint no fucking joke
Surfers get there earliest
Of everyone I know
Junkies take their time
They’re always driving slow
Thrashers aint too hard to book
I called ‘em up today
Got ‘em pretty cheap
They don’t know how to play
Next come bikini girls
That didn’t come to tan
Then a couple groupie girls
That say they know the band
Say you wanna make it
But your car’s a piece of shit
Head down to the road
Stick out your thumb
And try to hitch
I think you better stand
There aint no room to sit
Come on join the party
Just don’t step on it

(Chorus)

Swimming in the water
Splashing up a storm
Laying on the beach
Getting pretty warm
Shaking to the beat
Stirring up the sand
While every little girl’s
Been drinkin’ like a man
The sugar shack is closed
They’re boarding up the doors
It angried up the junkies
They’re looting all the stores
Empty bottles, empty cans
Strewn along the beach
Some coolers drifted out to sea
And now they’re outta reach
Baby Duck and Standard
Mixing with the tides
Fire pits-a-blazing
Smoke fills up the sky
Slice’s pizza boxes
Piled into the air
No one paid the driver
But he don’t seem to care
A couple fights are breaking out
This party’s outta hand
I didn’t see the sign
“No parties after 10:00”
Cherry tops are flashing
Now they’ll throw me in the pen
‘Cause I’m neck deep in trouble
And I’m going back again

(Chorus)
