I was peeping through a knothole
In the dressing room wall
I was standing on my tiptoes
'Cause I wasn't very tall
I was in his, wishing I was in hers
As her swimsuit hit the floor
I was rushing like a schoolboy
When her daddy hit the door
It was just another year (Just another year)
On the pleasure pier
Growing up too fast, showing up at last
What the hell am I doing here?
Stick it in your ear (Stick it in your ear)
Give me the pleasure pier
Give me some red hot passion in the summertime
And ice me down another cold beer
'62 Dodge
Convertible on the beach
The mosquitoes and me and she
Were biting in the back seat
Loving and laughing, struggling and scratching
And letting down the tops
Mooning in the moonlight
Flashing the flashlight and the cop
It was just another year (Just another year)
On the pleasure pier
Growing up too fast, showing up at last
What the hell am I doing here?
Stick it in your ear (Stick it in your ear)
Give me the pleasure pier
Give me some red hot passion in the summertime
And ice me down another cold beer
You know I finally won that girl
'Cause her daddy finally gave her away
Started living in a soap opera world
Pleasant Valley, U.S.A
But my queen of the hop ran off with the cop
And Reagan took my job yesterday
Now don't you get screwed, don't let it happen to you
I want you to dig on what I have to say
You gotta live another year (Live another year)
On the pleasure pier
You gotta make it last, don't grow up too fast
I want you all to listen here
Stick it in your ear (Stick it in your ear)
I'm talking 'bout the pier
Some red hot passion in the summertime
And ice you down another cold beer
Live another year (Live another year)
On the pleasure pier
You gotta make it last, don't grow up too fast
I want you all to listen here
Stick it in your ear (Stick it in your ear)
I'm talking 'bout the pier
Some red hot passion in the summertime
Go ice you down another cold beer
In the dressing room wall
I was standing on my tiptoes
'Cause I wasn't very tall
I was in his, wishing I was in hers
As her swimsuit hit the floor
I was rushing like a schoolboy
When her daddy hit the door
It was just another year (Just another year)
On the pleasure pier
Growing up too fast, showing up at last
What the hell am I doing here?
Stick it in your ear (Stick it in your ear)
Give me the pleasure pier
Give me some red hot passion in the summertime
And ice me down another cold beer
