They Won’t Let Us Show It At The Beach

Now uuuhh if you lived in A town
That's got these n*** beaches
If you like hanging out
& you like watching
Other people hang out
You'll be amazed to know
That the Police are shutting down
Alot of the n*** beaches
And it interferes with our
Constitutional rights to swimm
Bare Ass naked

They won't let you
Show it at the beach
No they won't let you
Show it at the Beach
They think we might grab it
If it's gets within our reach
So they won't let us
Show it at the Beach
You can show it in your Parlor
With Anyone you choosе
You can show it at A Party
With your 2nd shot of booze
You can flash it on A corner
With your overcoat & Shoеs
But they won't let you
Show it at the Beach
No they won't let me
Show it at the Beach
No they won't let me
Show it at the Beach
Uuh uhh they think we
Might grab it if it
Gets within our reach
So they won't let us
Show it at the Beach
You can show it
At the movies
In A Panoramic Scene
You can show it in
The most sophisticated Magazines
You can show it while you're bouncing
On the High School trampoline
They won't let you
Show it at the Beach
If you got A gun it's legal
To display it on your hip
You can show your butcher Knives
To any interested kid
But if it's made for Loving
You got to keep it hid
They won't let us
Show it at the Beach
No they won't let us
Show it at the Beach
They won't let you
Show it at the Beach
Uuh uuh they think
We're going to grab it
If it gets within our reach
So they won't let us
Show it at the Beach
Oh no they won't let you
Show it at the Beach
Why not?
They won't let you
Show it at the Beach
They think that we might grab it
If it gets within our reach
No they won't let you
Show it at the Beach
No they won't let you
Show it at the Beach
They won't let you
Show it at the Beach
