Carmen Get up in the morning, check out the weather If it looks like sun I get my things together Throw some cutoffs on, grab my tank top and tennies now And head for the beach Well, I'm drivin' down the highway losin' all my patience Punchin' all the bu*tons tryin' to find a station With a screamin' jock turnin' out my daily ration of (Cruisin' music, sure good music) (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music To make everything all right Well I'm flyin' down the freeway, floatin'[?] out of breath Got my windows rolled down in the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud, nothin' makes me feel better Than some good rock 'n' roll (good, good good rock 'n' roll) Those suntanned girls are lookin' out of sight And to a beach-drenched chick we'd never get uptight 'Cause when the sun goes down we'll be dancin' through the night And singin' It's time you heard some happy music God knows this world could really use a little sunshine So won't you make mine Yeah, you know I need some more of that (Cruisin' music, sure good music) (Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music To make everything all right
