Lyrics:

Take off your shoes, let down your hair
Turn on the music and we'll get somewhere
Dance, dance, dance, till your toes get tanned
We're gonna have us a ball on the beach, slicin' sand

Hug me a heap, swing me a lot
We got a lot of ocean if it gets too hot
O-o-o, o-o-o, baby, take my hand
We'll have some real rockin' fun in the sun, slicin' sand

Come, baby, come, let's dig some holes
You'll find it's heaven with sand on you soles
Yeah!

Slice through to the left, slice to the right
Slice down the middle, baby, hold me tight
O-o-o, o-o-o, baby, hold my hand
We'll have some real rockin' fun in the sun, slicin' sand

We'll have some real rockin' fun in the sun, slicin' sand
