Beach party
Hot Chip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want all this cold cold shit
Throw off your shirt and let's get
Hot hot hot
We've never been, we've never been to the bridge,
Throw off your skirt and let's begin the rock

I've been to all the places on the block
(you can believe it, believe it or not)
I like to rock, rock! I like to rock, rock!

Jump right in and in too deep
Throw off your towel and let's get wet wet wet
Bermuda shorts are comin' back to town throw off
Your pants and let's begin the dance

I've been to I've been to all the beaches on the strip
And you better believe this shit

I like to dip, dip
I like to dip, dip

Don't want all this cold cold cold shit throw off
Your shit and let's get hot hot hot,
We've never been, we've never to the bridge
Throw off your skirt and let's begin the rock

Oh yeh I'm over here, oh yeah you're over there
We could get over here
Then we begin to share

Hot love on a platter,
Let me be your dancer,




Hot love on a platter,
Let me be your dancer
