Ah yeah, woo

[Verse 1]
There is a dance that they do on the beach, yeah
It's called the beach stomp
And it's done with the feet, yeah
Well you kick just a little sand
Then you grab your partner by the hand

[Chorus]
Catch a wave on the run
You're doing the beachstomp, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Place your surfboard
Down to your side, yeah
Now catch a big wave
Then begin to ride, yeah
Well, you grab a real tight grip
Get ready for the great big dip

[Chorus]
Come on, yeah, and do the beach stomp with me, yeah
Yeah, ah yeah

[Bridge]
Now the boys are there
With their transistor radios
And all of the girls
Are in their polka dot bikinis
If you wanna swing until two
I'll tell you what you can do
Grab a chick by the hand
And do the beach stomp, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Now there is a dance that they do on the beach, yeah
It's called the beach stomp, yeah
And it's done with the feet, yeah
Well, you kick just a little sand
Then you grab your partner by the hand

[Chorus]
Everybody, come on, yeah yeah yeah
Do the beachstomp with me, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Ah yeah, yeah, ha ha ha, yeah...

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
