Cruisin' for a Bruisin'
Grace Phipps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better run, run, run, here we come
Revving our engines under the sun
You're cruisin' for a bruisin',
Whoa, keeping me cool!
Smooth and steady!
Slicked back hair man things are getting heavy!
You're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Two wheels and an open road
Wrapped in leather ready to go!

Don't stop, stop the music!
We ride fast like a bullet
We do anything we want, anytime we want
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
We just ride, ride, ride all day!
We're not gonna live any other way!

Bubblegum cherry pop, go to the hop
Hanging with my brother 'cause his friends are so hot
While they're cruisin', for some bruisin'!

Alright, I went to the drive-in and what did I see?
A hundred little betties all staring at me!
I was cruising, for some lovin'!
I got these two wheels and an open road
Just pop that clutch, I'm ready to go!

Don't stop, stop the music!
We ride fast like a bullet
We do anything we want, anytime we want
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
We just ride, ride, ride all day!
We're not gonna live any other way
Oh no, we're not gonna live any other way, oh!

Goes 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!
A who, who, who's ridin' with me?
I gotta a gang full of brusiers, all crusin' with me!
And we're tearin' up, we're tearin' up, we're tearin up the streets

Don't stop, stop the music!
We ride fast like a bullet
We do anything we want, anytime we want oh yeah, oh yeah!
We just ride, ride, ride all day!
We're not gonna live any other way
So don't stop, stop the music!
We ride fast like a bullet
We do anything we want, anytime we want, oh yeah, oh yeah!
We just ride, ride, ride all day!
We're not gonna live any other way




No, we're not gonna live any other way!
Oh no, we're not gonna live any other way! Oh!

There might be some cringe parts to this movie but can we just talk about how phenomenal the choreography is.. it impresses me more every time I watch it

@EdwardNort0n

I feel like the choreograph is way harder than High School Musical movies, plus the girls are wearing heals!!! How hard is that to dance with heels??

@loictag4794

Righttt

@Jaybirdie1226

It’s kinda cringy on purpose tho, so I personally excuse it lmao. I think this is one of the best Disney channel movies made, I’m 18 and still love it

@yourfriendlyeverydayhealer9306

@Jaybirdie 1226 agreed, the movie itself (Wet Side, not Teen Beach) was set around the 50s-60s so the pop culture is vastly different which makes sense

I grew up with this movie, I can’t believe the movie is almost 10 years old now. I remember the countdowns for the first two movies on Disney channel.
