A letra:
One, two, three, four
Chewin' out a 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
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down
in the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They
blast out the disco on the radio
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
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
Chewin' out a 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
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down
in the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They
blast out the disco on the radio
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
Rock-rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock-rock,
Rockaway Beach
Rock-rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride to
Rockaway Beach
