You got to drive me south one hour before my milkshake's sour

And you know that I'll ride on the hood through your old neighborhood

I've got a boombox in the trunk

And I hope that you like funk

Cause I've been counting on you to love Chaka Khan almost as much as I do

I'm gonna sip, sip on a martini

And then I'm gonna slip, slip in to my bikini

So if you see me crawling 'round

When the sun's going down

Well, baby, the beach is making me change species

I wanna be a little beach rat

Put sunblock on my back

Roll around in the sand like a sand crab

Toes in the ocean, it's cold, but

Can't drown you keep me afloat, boy

Beach bag, you know where my head's at

Boo'd up on the boardwalk at sunset

Tourists will shoo us away

But our summer love's here to stay

Beach rat, beach rat, beach rat

I'm gonna climb up the lifeguard stand

So I can properly get tan

And you're filling with envy when I strut my stuff

In front of the ice cream truck

But together we look real cute

Ride the beach bug through the dunes

And the tide's going in but I'm down for a swim

If it's me on top of you

I've gotta say, maybe it's just the waves

But something's making me feel some type of way

Don't you make me bat my lash

Catcall me something crass

Think of the implications before you go saying you don't give a rat's (ass)

I wanna be a little beach rat

Put sunblock on my back

Roll around in the sand like a sand crab

Toes in the ocean, it's cold, but

Can't drown you keep me afloat, boy

Beach bag, you know where my head's at

Boo'd up on the boardwalk at sunset

Tourists will shoo us away

But our summer love's here to stay

Beach rat, beach rat, beach rat

Now don't you dare say

That I'm acting like a house cat

You know I don't deserve that, no

I wanna be a little beach rat

Put sunblock on my back

Roll around in the sand like a sand crab

Toes in the ocean, it's cold, but

Can't drown you keep me afloat, boy

Beach bag, you know where my head's at

Boo'd up on the boardwalk at sunset

Tourists will shoo us away

But our summer love's here to stay

Here to stay

What's that?!

You and me, the beach rats
