lyrics

Go-go-go down to the water that is near your home
That's what we were told by some friends at the CB
We will meet you there with our towels in tow
Sand beneath our toes we call it "L.A. Beach Club"

We went down to the water
Down to the water

'Cause when our stomachs are in knots,
We go down to the beach
But then we hear the city sounds
And it disrupts our peace
(I know I know I heard...)

Somebody played Lou Bega on the radio
You know that songs so old but it's a good one for the summer
'Cause we've all got problems, but they're out on loan
Until we come back home from where my momma says I baptized myself

Down at the water
(Sing it) Down at the water

'Cause when our panties are in wads
We go down to the beach
When the boomers are in charge
And have plugged up all the pipe dreams
We learn to forget ourselves
Down at LA/BC
We take a dip in the river and come back home clean
Come back home clean...

The city's goin' crazy building bridges 'cross the river
Meanwhile we just chill on the beach...

It's called "tank top jungle-pop," and if you haven’t lost your voice by the end of the song, you probably weren’t listening... ... more
