From the recording Caribbean Country
Lyrics
Alex was a square he had no rhythm and no rhyme
he couldn't play a lick to make himself a dime
nobody listened to Alex he couldn't draw a crowd
He said I'm goin to do this, and make my mama proud
He learned the Beach Bum Boogie, rocking on the shore
he played the Beach Bum Boogie, calling out for more.
Look out he's ripping' on that guitar, a shuffling' across the floor
He rocks the Beach Bum Boogie just a rocking' on the shore.
Alex formed a band but they couldn't play a lick
giggin' at the clubs up and down the shore
He always said - we're just doin' it for kicks
but Alex and his boys, well they knew it was for the chicks.
They learned the Beach Bum Boogie, rocking on the shore
they played the Beach Bum Boogie, calling out for more.
Look out he's ripping' on that guitar, a shuffling' across the floor
They rock the Beach Bum Boogie just a rocking' on the shore.
Rollin' up and down the highway
lookin' for his kind
Makin' his way from bar to bar he wants to be that rock and roll star
Alex is a man of his dreams, now that he knows how.
He learned the Beach bum Boogie, rocking on the shore
he played the Beach Bum Boogie, calling out for more.
Look out he's ripping' on that guitar, a shuffling' across the floor
He rocks the Beach Bum Boogie just a rocking' on the shore
He rocks the Beach Bum Boogie just a rocking' on the shore.
