I say the beach be one of the best places to go
I say the beach be one of the best things that I know
Cruddy sugar lemonade
But I love people when theyÕre on parade
And the beach be one of the best things that I know

O.K. start up the car
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
WeÕre goinÕ to the beach - get start yeah
Riminima Riminima Riminima Rim
WeÕre goinÕ to the beach get started

I said the beach be one of the best things we got
Where itÕs 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 most things get

In fact the beach be one of the best things we got
Where itÔs not what you have on but what you have not

Cruddy sugar lemonade
but I love people when theyÕre on parade
And the beach be one of the best things we got
Where itÕs not what you have on itÕs what you have not
