Lyrics
Full Version
What up!
Summer in the sand
He's a drummer in the band
Droppin' the beat
She's a DJ at the boardwalk
A smile and a tan
And her sandals in her hand
Rocking the shades
You could almost see their eyes lock
What could be better
Than a party in the weather
With the both of us together
In the backdrop?
Everything was right
And the day turned into night
With the music and the lights
That's when we stop
Oh
Heard it on the radio (Sing it out loud)
Oh
Comin' down to see the show
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Heard it on the radio (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Comin' down to see the show (Oh, oh, oh)
Play it back, play it back
One time, yeah
Heard it on the radio
Board and a wetsuit
On the day we met
You said "I think this dude's catchin' a wave"
Shorts and a jet ski
All the other summer things
Kickin' it in the sun all day (oh oh oh yeah)
We only got time for each other (yeah)
And we only got time for the summer (for the summer)
Everybody knows
If you gotta let it go
Take a chance
Make it go your way
Oh
Heard it on the radio (Sing it out loud)
Oh
Comin' down to see the show
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Heard it on the radio (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Comin' down to see the show
Play it back, play it back
One time, yeah
Heard it on the radio
Listen to the story
'Bout the party, 'bout the glory
'Bout the summer that would raise the bar
Anyone would tell you
It was chill, it was stellar
The best time we’ve had so far
Everyone together
Always goin' "Never better"
And the good times go on, and on, and on
Never will forget it
Doesn't matter where we’re headed
I'll remember when I hear our song
What?!
Oh
Heard it on the radio
Oh
Comin' down to see your show
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Heard it on the radio (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Comin' down to see the show
Whoa, oh, oh
I heard it on the radio
Oh, oh, oh
Heard it on the radio
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Heard it on the radio (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (Everybody now)
Comin' down to see the show
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Play it back, play it back
One time, yeah
