Everybody on the beach knew it wouldn't be long
I took a belt, it was Flair's, I don't really care
In the hands of the Maniacs we can all share

He got as high as the sky but he remained the same
With the trainin' and the prayers and the vitamins too
Don't mess with us or we'll beat you too

I packed up my boots and I jumped in my car
Em (022000)          C (x32010)
And I headed for the Sunshine State
G                    D
And when I got there I gave her a call
C
She said everything was great
Em                          D
I needed some time with the boys
Em                          D
And she needed her time and space

CHORUS:
G                            D
So I'll lay on the beach and get me a tan
Em                              C
And I'll play my music with the boys in the band
G                            D
And I'll send you a postcard whenever I can
C
Sincerely, the Wrestling Boot Traveling Band

VERSE:
I met a girl on the beach yesterday
And she looked a lot like you
She heard the band play late last night
And she thought the bass player was cute
She was down here on her vacation
Because she needed her time and space

So we'll lay on the beach and get us a tan
And we'll listen to the music with boys in the band
And I'll send you a postcard whenever I can
Sincerely, the Wrestling Boot Traveling Band

E                                           G        A
You gotta train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins too

CHORUS

VERSE:
If you're looking for something cool to do
Just pick good friends to be with you
Always watch out where you are at
You may be judged where you hang your hat
Can you feel the muscic, can you feel the beat
You don't need drugs to move your feet
When the dealer tries to push on you
Just tell him what you're gonna do

CHORUS

VERSE:
Try to do good each and every day
Don't give up nothin' bad to say
Always go swimming with a buddy
Work real hard and always study
If you want to be real real cool
Don't be so stupid and play the fool
Get your education each and every day
These are all the things that the Maniacs say

CHORUS

Had my radio set on a rap rap station
Saw a girl in trouble, a sticky situation

We are the Beach Patrol
We want to party, party, party
Riff

Had my radio rockin' to a heavy metal station
Puttin' on some shades, tryin' to catch some rays
When I caught the lifeguard messin' with my babe

Whoop there it is, whoop there it is
You better watch out here comes my boyfriend
Riff
Pump it up, pump it up, pump up the bass

You'll be six feet deep if you touch my girlfriend
You know this homeboy can lose control
You just don't mess with the Beach Patrol

CHORUS

VERSE:
When you're hangin' at the beach you can see so much
Look all you want but you better not touch
Take it from me, don't lose control
'Cause you're gonna have to deal with the Beach Patrol

You held on so strong and then you are gone
You turned the lights out on me
