I know, I know, not a very interesting topic, but whatever... Maybe someone can help: Does anyone know (or know where - like a "link"...) the lyrics to ***"On The Beach"*** by John Holt & The Paragons? Is there any "favorite" site that you may use, when you want to see the lyrics to a certain tune? Thanks in advance....

Hail

one of i favoutte tunes a dat, on the beach.just means alot to me.

ill try and remember them from the top of i head

(Intro)

Lets go an have some fun, on the beach where there's a party

Everyone will be there, on the beach where there's a party

Where gonna' have a ball, dancing an singing an whining an all...

Holding hands together an laughing and all.

Then we'll dance, Dance, DAnce, D-D-D-ANCE, ho, ho, ho

1 more box of hugs, says the man to the bartender

1 more box of hugs, says the man, i wont surrender

(No Singing)

(Humming of chorus)

Where gonna' have a ball, dancing an singing an whining an all...

Holding hands together an laughing and all.

Then we'll dance Dance DAnce D-D-D-ANCE, ho, ho, ho

1 more box of hugs, says the man to the bartender

1 more box of hugs, says the man, i wont surrender

1 more box of hugs,on the beach where theres a party

1 more box of hugs, says the man, on the beach where theres a party

(Repeated) (fade out)

i think dat pretty much it mi idren, i know the song of top of mi head, so me just write lyrics down easy.

JAH LOVE

I never understood what they say after 'one more box of..?'. I guessed it was a beer name or something.
What is a box of hugs, Trevor?

Not wanting to contradict you Ranking Trevor but I always thought it was "hops" (so yes it does mean beer)?

I hear something like 'aps'.

Suds(bubbles)is a nickname often given to beer....
looks like soap suds...maybe suds not hugs

it sound like 'amps' or 'hops', yes it does

thanks for the corrEction people, i own mistake.

Anyway whatever it is, it a irie tune - always

JAH BLESS

No mistake Ranking Trevor, that's the great thing about a good song, everybody hears something different in it.

Respect

Ranking Trevor (RT),

Much thanks Trevor! It IS a great tune... Irie, irie!! Like others said, I have trouble understanding that one part: ...."one more box of.....???.... says the man to the bartender.."

At any rate, I appreciate everyone's input!
