Lyrics
I can think of nothin’ better
Than dancin’ on the beach
See a girl, you can go and get her
Your troubles will be out of reach
, you can dance to a rock ‘n’ roll
(On the beach), here the Bosanova played with soul
(On the beach), you can dance and twist and shout
(On the beach), everybody hear me come on out
On the beach, (come on everybody stomp your feet)
On the beach, (you can dance with anyone you meet)
‘Cause your troubles are out of reach
On the beach
Mm-mm, this is fun
Mm-mm, won’t you tell me I’m the one you’re gonna dance with
Yeah, Bosanova
Mm-mm, this is fun
Mm-mm, now I know I’m the one you’re gonna dance with
Yeah, twist and shout now
You can do the dance that you want to
With anyone that you meet
And if the Bosanova doesn’t get you
The Twist’ll have you on your feet
, you can dance to a rock ‘n’ roll
(On the beach), hear the Bosanova played with soul
(On the beach), you can dance and twist and shout
(On the beach), everybody hear me come on out
On the beach, (come on everybody stomp your feet)
On the beach, (you can dance with anyone you meet)
‘Cause your troubles are out of reach
On the beach
