That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It could be the Outer Banks or the Florida Keys,
Up in the Hamptons or Cape Cod if you please
Beach Towels, Deck Swings
Floppy Hats, Water Wings
Chaise lounge, Boogie Boards
Sea Shells, Reggae Chords
Para Sails, Fishin' Pier
Cheap Shades, Shark Fear
That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
Maybe travel to La Jolla or to Carmel by the Sea,
End up in Puerto Vallarta or in Cabo you could be
Yeah, that's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It might be a high rise hotel or a cottage by the sea,
As long as it's got sand there that's the place you'll want to be
Crab Legs, Fried Grouper
Steamed Shrimp, Conch Fritters

Ice Cream Vendors, Ticket Girls
Salt Water Taffy, Souvenirs
Tee Shirts, Goodbye Tears
