On The Beach Lyrics - Randy Newman

It all began in grammar school and on the beach 

Everybody graduated 

There we were 

Off we went to junior high 

There we were 

Everybody graduated 

Off we went to high school 

Except one of us 

On the beach he was and there he stayed 

He saw the Hobie Cat, the beginnings of it 

Polyurethane 

Longboard, shortboard, every board 

On the beach 

He saw it 

On the beach

Roll Willie 

Roll Willie 

You saw it all, Willie 

On the beach 

You're not a bum, Willie 

Never a bum, Willie 

But in years to come, Willie 

'Twas in reach 

Some went to college 

Some went to war 

Some came back crazy 

Some were crazy before 

Willie saw acid 

Willie saw fear 

Willie saw freebase 

But Willie's still here 

On the beach, on the beach 

Still on the beach, still on the beach 

Photos 

They're building a railroad, downtown to here 

That's what they say 

They said it sixty years ago 

But they're building it today 

The lifeguard towers you used to live in 

Comin' down 

Man, they're comin' down 

Lifeguard towers 

Where you'd hold forth for hours 

About the polyurethane 

The Hobie Cat 

The big longboards and the shortboards too 

Wille, if it ever rains again 

Don't sleep under the pier 

Those twenty foot sets we used to lie about 

Well they're here now, Willie 

And they'll take you out 

Roll Willie roll 

You never get old 

You look just like you used to look 

A hundred years ago 

On the beach 

On the beach 

Nice to see you, Willie 

Still on the beach 

On the beach 

On the beach 

Nice to see you, Willie 

Still on the beach
