Lyrics

Radio Bikini

[Reprise]

Return to bikini

Return to bikini, oh

Return to bikini

Return to bikini

[Verse 1]

Well mine's on the rocks

In sandals and socks

Sentimentally sad

Drink a Coca-Cola in bed

[Chorus]

But the string of your Bikini

Saying, "Don't you wanna see me?"

Across a European summer

Oh c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

[Reprise]

Return to bikini

Return to bikini, oh

Return to bikini

Return to bikini

[Verse 2]

Well mine's on the fire

But if you want to lighten the mood

Sugar-coated in sun

With enough for everyone

[Chorus]

But the string of your Bikini

Saying, "Don't you wanna see me?"

Across a European summer

Oh c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

[Bridge]

I came so close

Right out of the blue

Now I got you

Ooohhh

[Reprise]

Return to bikini

Return to bikini, oh

Return to bikini

Return to bikini

[Verse 3]

Well mine's on the coast

With opportunity's ghost

And visions of comity to die

Where nobody knows me

[Chorus]

But the string of your Bikini

Saying, "Don't you wanna see me?"

Across a European summer

Oh c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

[Outro]

Swing your bikini

Say "I'm on television"

Across another endless summer

Oh c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
