Beach Baby

Do you remember back in old L.A
Where everybody drove a Chevrolet
Whatever happened to the boy next door
The suntanned dude, kind of American male
Remember dancing at the high school hop
The dress I ruined with a soda pop
I didn't recognize the girl next door
The beat up sneakers and the pony tail

Beach baby, beach baby
Gimme your hand, gimme something that I can remember
Just like before we could walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby
There on the sand from July to the end of September
Surfing was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day

I never thought that it would end
And I was everybody's friend
Long hot days
Cool sea haze
Youth I've slaved
Now it's fading away

We couldn't wait for 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
Gimme your hand, gimme something that I can remember
Just like before we could walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby
There on the sand from July to the end of September
Surfing was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day
