"On The Beach"
(Eric Carmen)
As described by the composer in his capsule review of _Side 3_: "Surf noises
and seagulls preface an exciting number about getting it on after the prom,
or the like".

Ooh, I want to

They don't expect us 'til tomorrow

Ooh, I want to
Oh, I want to
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
On the beach (on the beach)
I've waited so long to be there
We'll take the highway, just outside the city
'Cause the night's young and you're so pretty, yeah
