THE BULLY OF THE BEACH

Now, a great big bully kicked sand in my baby's face
Last summer at the beach
My baby egged me on until
He stomped a hole in me
When I woke up somebody told me
She had left with him arm in arm
So I went home and I ordered me a book
On how to get to be big and strong

Now I'm doing
Twenty five push-ups
Twenty five set-ups
Dumb bells, bar bells, boy, I'll teach
The wooly, wooly, bully of the beach
'Cause he's the bully of the beach, beach, beach
He is the bully of the beach, beach, beach
I'm gonna study up and then I'll teach
The wooly, wooly bully of the beach

Now I gained 20 pounds and felt like a bull
So I went down to the beach
I saw them together so I went right up
And tried to slap him off his feet
I hit him with everything I had
But he didn't even move
How was I to know that he'd been readin' up
On muscle building, too

(And the nurse told me this morning before they set the bones that he does...)
Five hundred push-ups
Five hundred set-ups
Dumb bells, bar bells, what a freak
The wooly, wooly, bully of the beach
'Cause he's the bully of the beach, beach, beach
He is the bully of the beach, beach, beach
But they say I'll be healed in 'bout a week
And then I'm going back down
To see the bully of the beach
