ROCKAWAY BEACH 2.06

Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum the sun is out and I want some

It's not hard, not far to reach we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Up on the roof, out on the street down in the playground the hot concrete
Busride is too slow they blast out the disco on the radio

Rock rock rockaway beach Rock rock rockaway beach
Rock rock rockaway beach we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
