Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I back this hitch up into the water
Untie all the cables and rope
Step onto the AstroTurf
Get yourself a coozie, let's go
[Verse 2]
Who said anything about skiing?
Floatin' is all I wanna do
You can climb the ladder
Just don't rock the boat while I barbecue
[Chorus]
On the pontoon
Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof
A-jumpin' off the back, don't act like you don't want to
Party in slow motion
Out here in the open, mmm, motorboatin'
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
A-reach your hand down into the cooler
Don't drink it if the mountains aren't blue
Try to keep it steady
As you recline on your black inner-tube
[Chorus]
Pontoon
Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof
A-jumpin' off the back, don't act like you don't want to
Party in slow motion
Out here in the open, mmm, motorboatin'
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Five mile an hour with aluminum sides
Wood panelin' with a water slide
Can't beat the heat, so let's take a ride
[Chorus]
On the pontoon
Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof
A-jumpin' off the back, don't act like you don't want to
Party in slow motion
I'm out here in the open, mmm, motorboatin'
[Chorus]
On the pontoon
Ooh-ooh, ooh
On the pontoon
Ooh-ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Back this hitch out into the water
On the pontoon
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
