I wanna stay in the sun, I gotta have my fun, When the work is done Down The Malibu Beach And when the winter is gone, I won't stay for long, Just turn the radio on Down The Malibu Beach I'll find a sweet, sweet girl, A sea pearl, She'll make me burn that naughty girl I'll find a skinhead girl, That Brixton Pearl Ooh down the Malibu Beach Gonna take a holiday down Malibu Beach That's what I'll do!
