"Seaside Bar Song" lyrics

"Seaside Bar Song"

Well, Billy bought a Chevy '40 coupe deluxe
Chrome wheels, stick shift, give her gas, pop the clutch
Girls on the corner, like a diamond they shine
Someday, Billy, I'm gonna make 'em all mine

Hey girl, you wanna ride in Daddy's Cadillac?
Cause I love the way your long hair falls down your back
Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley's at the Seaside Bar
We'll run barefoot in the sand, listen to his guitar

You say your mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your papa's gonna beat you cause he knows you're out on the run
I'm gonna live a life of love and tonight you're the one

The highway is alive tonight so baby do not be frightened
There's something about a pretty girl on a sweet summer night
That gets this boy excited

The radioman finally understands and plays you something you can move to
You lay back, cut loose your drive power
Your girl leans over and says, "Daddy, can you turn that radio up any louder?"

The juke joint's hummin', everybody came down
Little Willie and his Soul Brooms laying all this stuff now
Well don't let that daylight steal your soul
Get in your wheels and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

Oh that's all right now
Oh go on, go on, go on

Oh mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your daddy's gonna beat you cause he knows you're out on the run
But I don't care, I wanna live a life of love while the night's still young
