Beach Guitar

Lying in the sand
And your sunburn nose
The girls walk by
With their perfect painted toes

Got a Frisbee spin
And a surfboard bruise
Seagulls cry
And sand gets in your shoes
In your shoes, in your shoes

Play me a song on the beach guitar
Swimming in the music without a lifeguard
Waves of sound hit the golden shore
Play me a song on the beach guitar
On the beach guitar, on the beach guitar

Constable clouds
Against a Turner sky
The Gaugin girls
Just make you want to cry

Got a coconut tree
And a coral reef
Spit in the ocean
And the sun glints off your teeth
Off your teeth, off your teeth

Play me a song on the beach guitar
Swimming in the music without a lifeguard
Waves of sound hit the golden shore
Play me a song like you did before
Like you did before, like you did before

Suntan oil
And a bikini line
The BBQ fish
Is dribbling down with lime

Got a shovel and a pail
And a beach ball too
Your swimming trunks
Are yellow, red and blue
Red and blue, red and blue

I’ll play you a song on the beach guitar
Got the funky action and no pick guard
I can play it real soft or strum it real hard
Let me play you a song on the beach guitar

I’ll play you a song on the beach guitar
Got the funky action and no pick guard
I can play it real soft or strum it real hard
Let me play you a song on the beach guitar
On the beach guitar, beach guitar, beach guitar
