Lyrics
The Beach Boys
Whip it up
Come around
...
Instead, you want it always
I wanna be with her
Whip it up
In your eyes
It's your money
No surprise
It's... you want it
Wanna be with you
We are the beach boys
...
We are the beach boys
...
Whip it up
Come around
...
Instead, you want it always
I wanna be with her
Whip it up
In your eyes
It's your money
No surprise
It's... you want it
Wanna be with you
We are the beach boys
...
We are the beach boys
...)
