🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Until the sun comes up
  • Over Santa Monica Boulevard
  • I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
  • And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Until the sun comes up
  • Over Santa Monica Boulevard
  • Otherwise the bar is ours
  • The day and the night and the car wash, too
