Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on

Hey baby come on
Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Oh baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years
Hey girl let's go for a spin
Hop in my hot rod and do it again

You've got a greenhouse effect on me
I know a secret spot
Paradise by the sea
We'll find a place to park
That's kinda cool after dark

We'll take a trip on up to the lake
Down by the river
Where we can make out
On the island

Wake up on the cape
Punch up yor favorite staion
Toss in your favorite tape
When we go cruisin'
Well everything is all right

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby when we go cruisin' now

Baby put your top down
Parade around down town
People trying to cool down
Party all summer long

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Everybody got a favorite spot
Where they like to come a lot

When we go cruisin' well everything is all right
Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby when we go crusin' now

People dancin' in the sand
Rockin' to a reggae band
Lovers walkin' hand in hand
Party all summer long

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years

Come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
So come on let's cruise ya got nothin' to lose
Baby come on

Now get yourself in gear
Baby baby come on
Still cruisin' after all of these years
