about

This track was originally written for school. We had to write a song, the girls in my group wanted a summer song, this is what they got. The gripping tale of a normal citizen who loses control of his life, and now smokes weed down by the beach all day. First full band recording.

lyrics

I went down to the Jersey Shore, and I grew my hair out long
And when, there, met a hot beach babe, and I began to play her this song
and it went

Summer Time, Care Free
Forgetting about reality
Having fun, cause school is done
I think (or want) I have become a beach bum

I learned how to surf the dawn patrol, I learned how to skate
I was so cool; I could kick sand into some nerd’s face
But when she left me, it all fell through
She ran off with another guy, and moved down to Peru
And I sing

Repeat Chorus
Bridge

Now I live at the Jersey shore
Dafalagashasaflafalagore
David Hasselhoff is my God
You might find it strange, you might find it odd

Now I live in the back of a van, smoke weed like Shaggy, you know stick it to the man
Never shower, I wear flip flops, I sold all own to a pawn shop

I want to be a beach bum
Like Jerry Spicoli
Cut jeans, Tank top, I want that girl to sit on my cock
Tight jeans, crop top, gonna wear my hair down like a mop

Cause I wanna, wanna be
Cause I am, and I will be a beach bum
