Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chewing that rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
[Verse 2]
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground,a the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
The blast of the disco on the radio
[Verse 3]
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
[Verse 4]
It's not hard not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
It's not hard not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
[Verse 5]
Chewing that rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard not far to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
[Verse 6]
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
The blast of the disco on the radio
[Verse 7]
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
[Verse 8]
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, Rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
