Lyrics
SANDY TO THE BEACH
BY FELICE KELLER & RICH JACQUES
VERSE
THREW THE COOLER IN THE BACK
SUNTAN LOTION, SWIMMING SHORTS
THERE?S REALLY NOTHING ELSE TO PACK
JUST A BUNCH OF GUYS OFF TO THE SHORE
AND AS WE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE
MY FRIEND SAYS, ?HEY WE GOT ONE MORE?
AND JUST THEN OUR WORST FEAR ARRIVED
AS JOHNNY?S GIRL WALKED TO THE DOOR
PRE-CHORUS
AS SANDY DRAGGED HER BAGS ACROSS THE LAWN
I SAID, ?HEY MAN, COME ON?
CHORUS
YOU WOULDN?T BRING FOOD TO THE GROCERY STORE
YOU DON?T BRING DIRT TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS
YOU WOULDN?T PACK A SNACK TO AN ALL YOU CAN EAT
OR BRING MORE WATER TO THE DEEP BLUE SEA
SO IT DON?T MAKE NO SENSE TO ME
WHY WOULD YOU BRING SANDY TO THE BEACH
VERSE
THEY?LL BE ICE-COLD BEER AND GIRLS IN THONGS
WHISKY SHOTS AND NO LAST NAMES
AND IF WE BRING THAT GIRL ALONG
SHE?LL BE BLOWING EVERYBODY?S GAME
SHE?LL SHOP, TALK, TAKE YOU FROM THE BOYS
HOLD HANDS BY THE SWIMMING POOL
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SOME NOISE
SHE?LL JUST WANNA MAKE SOME RULES
PRE-CHORUS
THINK ABOUT THE LAST TRIP WE WENT ON
HEY MAN, COME ON
CHORUS
YOU WOULDN?T BRING FOOD TO THE GROCERY STORE
YOU DON?T BRING DIRT TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS
YOU WOULDN?T PACK A SNACK TO AN ALL YOU CAN EAT
OR BRING MORE WATER TO THE DEEP BLUE SEA
SO IT DON?T MAKE NO SENSE TO ME
WHY WOULD YOU BRING SANDY TO THE BEACH
BRIDGE
CRAZY REDHEADS ASKING YOU TO PUT THEIR LOTION ON
LITTLE HEART AND STAR TATTOOS ON THE BACKS OF PRETTY BLONDS
HOT BRUNETTES OUT DRINKING MARGARITAS IN THE SUN
SO MANY GIRLS TO CHOOSE FROM?
WHAT?S THE USE IN BRINGING ONE
CHORUS
?CAUSE YOU WOULDN?T BRING FOOD TO THE GROCERY STORE
YOU DON?T BRING DIRT TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS
YOU WOULDN?T PACK A SNACK TO AN ALL YOU CAN EAT
OR BRING MORE WATER TO THE DEEP BLUE SEA
SO IT DON?T MAKE NO SENSE TO ME
WHY WOULD YOU BRING SANDY TO THE BEACH
TAG
LET?S HIT THE GAS, BOY YOU?LL BE THANKING ME
?CAUSE WE AINT BRINGING SANDY TO THE BEACH
