[Verse 1]
Well, I'ma seaside sittin'
Just a-smokin' and a-drinkin' on ringside
Top of the world, ma
I got a drink in my hand
I got my toes in the sand
All I need is a beautiful girl, now

[Pre-Chorus]
(What a sweet-talkin' honey with a little bit of money)
(To turn my head around)
Creature from the sea with the looks to me
Like she'd like to fool around

[Verse 2]
Snappy mammy gonna keep a pappy happy
And accompany me
To the ends of the world, now
You know it, help me sing this one, will ya?

[Chorus]
(Here I am)
(Ain't no man of the world, no)
All I need is a beautiful girl
Ah, yeah!
(Beautiful girls)
I see you now

[Verse 3]
I'm a bum in the sun
And I hope you know
I got no special plans, now (Special plans)
All the bills are paid
Made in the shade
All I need is the woman (Of the sand)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Just a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money)
(To turn your head around)
Creature from the sea with the looks to me
Like she'd like to fool around

[Chorus]
(Here I am)
(Ain't no man of the world, no)
All I need is a beautiful girl
Ah, yeah!
Beautiful girls
Whoo!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Whoo!

[Verse 4]
Well, I'm a-seaside sittin'
Just a-smokin' and a-drinkin' on ringside
On top of the world (Top of the world)
I got a drink in my hand
I got another drink in the other hand
And I got a drink for you, hot stuff
Hey, beautiful girl (Beautiful girl)

[Chorus]
(Here I am)
(Ain't no man of the world, no)
All I need is a beautiful girl
Ah, yeah!
(Beautiful girls)
There she is
Oh, oh, oh!

[Outro]
(Ah, yeah!)
(Beautiful girls)
(Ah, yeah!)
(Beautiful girls)
Can't do without 'em, no
(Ah, yeah!)
(Beautiful girls)
Beautiful, beautiful
(Ah, yeah!)
(Beautiful girls)
(smooch)

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
