The Beach - Jonathan Richman

Well, now the beach be one of the best things we’ve got

Because it’s not what you have on but what you have not

No more silly clothes for you, no more shoe, no necktie too

And the beach be one of the best things we got

Well, now the beach be one of the best things there be

Well, a fashion show is there for you to see

See whose bum you like the best, see whose got a hairy chest

And the beach be one of the best things there be

(Okay start up the car)

Goin' to the beach, get started

Goin' to the beach, get started

I say the beach be one of the best place to go

I say the beach be one of the best things I know

Cruddy sugar lemonade

But I love people when they’re on parade

Well the beach be one of the best things I know

(So start up the car)

We’re goin' to the beach get started

We’re goin' to the beach get started

I said the beach be one of the best things we got

Where it’s not what you have on but what you have not

And I want that stink and I want that sweat

In fact the beach be better than

The beach be one of the best things we got

Where its not what you have on but what you have not

Cruddy sugar lemonade

But I love people when they’re on parade
