There's no other place
I'd like to erase my mind ok
I'm feelin ok, feelin alright
Just wanna have a good time
Wanna have a good night

Hot summer days and the cool summer nights
Never a waist of time
Just rock in the waves

Just wanna have a good time
Wanna have a good night
Feelin ok, feelin alright
Hot summer days and the cool summer nights
Never a waist of time no
