Been there, been there (been there at the Blue Whale)
Peckin’, I’m peckin (peckin’ at the Sandpiper)
Pumpin, I’m pumpin (pumpin’ at the Botel)

We’ll hit the groove (fire island) and really shake the times
There’s a house (fire island) on your back
Boogie on down (fire island) follow me back
(Fire island, fire island) I’ll take your hand (fire island) you take mine
We’ll hit the groove (fire island) and really shake the times
There’s a house (fire island) on your back
Boogie on down (fire island) follow me back
