Beachball

Tonight's alive
The beach ball's set to fly
Those well tequila'd guys
Who smile at strangers
À tes souhaits
À tes amours chéri
You give a little sneeze
And dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba
This life is sweet
We're dancin' in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You'll do fine
The little weekend's here
Thursday has an ear
Her coffee klatch career
She talks to strangers
And kissing by the sea
Particular to me
'Ti punch, mojito, sling and
Dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba
This life is sweet
We're dancin' in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You'll do fine
We flash the seaside sky
With starfish butterflies
To cast a spell and welcome locals
Weekenders and strangers
You'll do fine
You'll do fine
You'll do fine
