VERSE1:
[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   Strolling along minding my own business

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   Well there goes a girl and a half, she's got me going up and down

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   She's got me going up and down


REFRAIN:
[Guitar Figure 2b]
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches



VERSE2:
[Guitar Figure 2a]
   Well I've got the notion girl

[Guitar Figure 2a]
   That you've got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   Spread it all over my peeling skin baby, that feels real good

[Guitar Figure 2a]
   All this skirt, lapping up the sun

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x3]
   Lap me up, why don't you come on and lap me up


[repeat REFRAIN]


VERSE3:
[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   Well there goes another one just lying down on the sand-dunes

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   I better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   'Cos you and me, woman, we got a lot of things on our minds

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
   You know what I mean...?


[repeat REFRAIN]


VERSE4:
[Guitar Figure 2a] [x2]
Will you just take a look over there... Where...? There!

[Guitar Figure 2a]
Is she trying to get out of that clitares?

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x3]
Liberation for women, that's what I preach, preacher man!


[repeat REFRAIN]

[Guitar Figure 2a] [x3]
   Oh shit, there goes the charabanc!
                                                [Guitar Figure 3]
Looks like I'm going to be stuck here the whole summer
                  [Guitar Figure 4]
Well, what a bummer!
                                     [Guitar Figure 3]
I can think of a lot worse places to be

                 [Guitar Figure 4]
Like down in the street
               [Guitar Figure 5]
or down in the sewer
                        [Guitar Figure 6]
Or even on the end of a skewer!
