Rockaway Beach
Natalie Renoir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chewin' at a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Up on the roof and out on the street
Out in the playground the hot concrete
Bus ride

is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio

Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
So we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Chewin' at a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Up on the roof and out on the street
Out in the playground the hot concrete
Bus ride
is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio

Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach
So we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
So we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

So we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
So we can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
