about

This song is about breaking into people's backyards to swim in their pools when they are not home or at least not paying attention.

lyrics

Backyard on second street
I don't know the residents
so let's stay nimble on our feet
Cause if they call the police
we're gonna have to hit the streets
running down the alley way
and hiding on the beach

Cause the ocean
just ain't good enough tonight
ain't good enough tonight
ain't good enough tonight

When I go swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
but she's only seventeen
so you can not tell her brother
Keep it undercover or he's sure to start fight
I got a ball bat everything will be alright
When I'm swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
Better keep my baggies on
don't want to make this girl a mother
Tell her that I love her
maybe she'll stay for a while
Don't matter if I mean it she's so pretty when she

Backyard where no one goes
It can be our little secret honey
no one has to know
You are just a girl baby
I am just punk
Your brother's got a problem
there's a pistol in my trunk

Cause the ocean
just ain't good enough tonight
ain't good enough tonight
ain't good enough tonight

When I go swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
but she's only seventeen
so you can not tell her brother
Keep it undercover or he's sure to start fight
I got a ball bat everything will be alright
When I'm swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
Better keep my baggies on
don't want to make this girl a mother
Tell her that I love her
maybe she'll stay for a while
Don't matter if I mean it she's so pretty when she

Deep end the lights come on
But, before they pull the curtain
baby we're already gone
Let's keep this party moving
Yeah we gotta keep it cool
Over to another house and hop into another pool

When I go swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
but she's only seventeen
so you can not tell her brother
Keep it undercover or he's sure to start fight
I got a ball bat everything will be alright
When I'm swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
Better keep my baggies on
don't want to make this girl a mother
Tell her that I love her
maybe she'll stay for a while
Don't matter if I mean it she's so pretty when she

When the heat of the summer
make you hot and lazy
we rock the dance hall
'til it's going crazy
Her brother steps up,
but it doesn't faze me
Gonna cool off and swim with my baby
Gonna get wet, but not it the ocean
secluded place away from commotion
tell her things about love and emotion
baby let's go for a swim

When I go swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
but she's only seventeen
so you can not tell her brother
Keep it undercover or he's sure to start fight
I got a ball bat everything will be alright
When I'm swimming in the summer
with the girl that is my lover
Better keep my baggies on
don't want to make this girl a mother
Tell her that I love her
maybe she'll stay for a while
Don't matter if I mean it she's so pretty when she
