Beach Baby
First Class
Do you remember back in old LA (Oh, oh, oh)
When everybody drove a Chevrolet (Oh, oh, oh)
Whatever happened to the boy next door
Sun-tanned crew cut All American Male?
What ever happened at the high school hop?
I guess you should remember soda pop.
Ever think about the girl next door
With beat up sneakers and a pony tail?
Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we'd be out in the sun every day
Ooooh, never thought that it could end
Ooooh, and I was everybody's friend,
Oh, Oh,
We couldn't wait til graduation day
We took the car and drove to San Jose
That's where you told me that you'd wear my ring
I guess you don't remember anything.
Beach Baby Beach Baby Give me your hand
give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach Baby Beach Baby There on the sand
from July til the end of September
Surfin was fun we'd be out in the sun every day
