Chewin out a rhythm on my bubble gum

The sun is out and I want some

Down on the playground the hot concrete

Bus ride is too slow

They blast out the disco on the radio

[Chorus]

Rock rock, Rockaway Beach

We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach

Rock rock, Rockaway Beach

We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach
