Lemme take you to the beach
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Lemme take you to the beach
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahhh

Bring the weenies
I'll bring the soft drinks
And the cookies
Everybody's in love!

Lemme take you to a show
Wo-wo-wo -wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Lemme take you to a show
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo~wo-wohhh
Eat a candy!
You are dandy!
Can I kiss you?
Maybe I'll just hold your hand-eeee!

Lemme take you to the beach again
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Lemme take you to the beach again
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahhh

At the freak out
Later we'll peak out




You're on restriction
So you'll probably speak out!

Overall Meaning

The line "You're on restriction, so you'll probably speak out" could suggest a rebellious and possibly dangerous attitude.


Overall, the lyrics to "Lemme Take You To The Beach" are a mix of fun and danger, with a seductive invitation to join in a carefree day at the beach but with hints of risky behavior.

Frank Zappa has been dead for more than 23 years, and yet he remains the most interesting and entertaining composer/musician/performer of his generation (at least to my ears). It's a shame that he's not still with us. I never grow tired of listening to Mr. Zappa's vast and eclectic body of work.

Like I always say: "I'm sad we no longer have him, but I'm glad that we had him."
Such a deep and impressive catalogue.

Awesomely fun piece. Studio Tan only had 4 tracks, but this and especially the fantastic RDNZL are real keepers.
