She's got the focus, she's got the time
She's got a deeper shade in mind
She's got headphones, got spring break
A swimsuit and Coppertone 8
She's workin' on a tan
She's sittin' in the sand
Chillin' in a chair, flower in her hair
Margarita in her hand
She's soakin' up the sun
Gettin' next to nothin' done
There's a term paper due in a week or two
But she don't give a damn
She's workin' on a tan,
Workin' on a tan
All the Kappa Sigma boys been liftin' weights
Hittin' that gym, drinkin' protein shakes
They got a cooler full of beer and it's loaded in the Jeep
Why you think they're going to the beach
Cause she's workin' on a tan
She's sittin' in the sand
Chillin' in a chair, flower in her hair
Margarita in her hand
She's soakin' up the sun
Gettin' next to nothin' done
She's attractin' a crowd
Got their tongues hangin' out
But she don't give a damn
She's workin' on a tan,
Workin' on a tan
Yeah, so many things run through her mind
When to turn and when to re-apply
So this week while you're stuck in your cubicle
Or you're servin' Starbucks or you're still in school
Far from needin' sunscreen on your skin
Sorry but I have to rub it in
She's workin' on a tan
She's sittin' in the sand
Chillin' in a chair, flower in her hair
Margarita in her hand
Soakin' up the sun
Gettin' next to nothin' done
Forget about her grades, forget her GPA
She doesn't give a damn
Cause she's workin' on a tan,
Workin' on a tan
She's workin' on a tan,
Workin' on a tan
