I'm meetin' my buddies out on the lake
We're headed out to a special place (We love!)
That just a few folks know
There's no signin' up, no monthly dues
Take your Johnson, your Mercury or your Evinrude and fire it up
Meet us out at party cove
Come on in the waters fine
Just idle on over, and toss us a line

Basstrackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches
Regular joes, rockin' the boat that's us
The Redneck Yacht Club

Bermuda's, flip-flops and a tank top tan
He popped his first top at 10 a.m., (That's Bob!)
He's our president
We're checkin' out the girls on the upper deck
Rubbin' in the 15 S-P-F, (Its hot! Whoo!)
Everybody's jumpin' in
Later on when the sun goes down
We'll pull out the jar and that old guitar
And pass 'em around

Basstrackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches
Regular joes, rockin' the boat that's us
The Redneck Yacht Club

When the party's over and we're all alone
We'll be makin' waves, in a no wake zone

Basstrackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches
Regular joes, rockin' the boat that's us
The Redneck Yacht Club

Redneck Yacht Club
(Na, na, na)
Redneck Yacht Club
(Na, na, na)
