Have you given any thought to the Beach Boys tribute band
Kew Gardens, Jamaica
Ooh I want to take ya
Floral Park and Sayville, Cedarhurst and Bayville
Huntington, Manhasset, Woodmere, Amagansett, Mets Willets
Off the four ninety-five
There's a place called Long Island
It's like New York City
Without all the big buildings
Beer bottles in the sand
Ralph's Italian melting in your hand
We'll be drinking iced tea
To the music of a tribute band
Down in Long Island
Kew Gardens, Jamaica
Ooh I want to take ya
Floral Park and Sayville
Cedarhurst and Bayville
Huntington, Manhasset
Woodmere, Amagansett
Ooh I wanna tell you about the strip malls
The nail salons and the bar mitzvah halls
Taxes are high as balls
Way down in Long Island
Glen Cove, Glen Street
Hillside Facility
Slightly toxic seas
Illegal dumping and wannabes
Flocking to the Hamptons
Thinking they're celebrities
Driving way too fast
No way they let you pass
Rooting for the home teams
Even though they all finish last
Way down in Long Island
Kew Gardens, Jamaica
Ooh I want to take ya
Floral Park and Sayville
Cedarhurst and Bayville
Huntington, Manhasset
Woodmere, Amagansett
Ooh I wanna tell you about the strip malls
The nail salons and the bar mitzvah halls
Taxes are high as balls
Way down in Long Island
Copiague, Patchogue
Yaphank and Aquebogue
Down in Long Island
Kew Gardens, Jamaica
Ooh I want to take ya
Floral Park and Sayville
Cedarhurst and Bayville
Huntington, Manhasset
Woodmere, Amagansett
Ooh I wanna tell you about the strip malls
The nail salons and the bar mitzvah halls
Taxes are high as balls
Way down in Long Island
Kew Gardens, Jamaica
Ooh I want to take ya
Floral Park and Sayville
Cedarhurst and Bayville
Huntington, Manhasset
Woodmere, Amagansett

You need help
Serious help
Like mental health
Really though really though
You're insane
Really insane
A big fat pain
Really though really though
Tributes without paying a tribute
That could get you shot on the block where I lived you
Could not get away with excuses
Used to justify copyright abuses
You need help
Serious help
Like mental health
Really though really though
You're insane
Really insane
A big fat pain
Really though really though
It's thievery taking the songs that are dear to me
Stealing from the bands and their fans at these eateries
It's trademarked logos and likeness
Now here comes the part where you get self-righteous
You need help
Serious help
Like mental health
Really though really though
You're insane
Really insane
A big fat pain
Really though really though
You need help
Serious help
Like mental health
Really though really though
You're insane
Really insane
A big fat pain
Really though really though
Forsaking, without trying or making
Anything that's new so you are faking
Raking it in all for the taking
What if it was you, you were impersonating
You need help
Serious help
Like mental health
Really though really though
You're insane
Really insane
A big fat pain
Really though really though
Uh hello yes
I'd like to check into a mental health facility
Are you kidding me
A silver whammy bar Dick Dale he comes back from the afterlife
What's the matter with you

I could have you working every night
Getting paid in cash instead of stale bud light
No more gigging in your high top van
Getting stiffed on food, the owner treats you bad
But if you join a Beach Boys tribute band
You'll be making bank singing Barbara Ann
Cause they don't know about surf
And they never heard of twang
These local audiences just don't care
If you don't join a tribute band you go nowhere
Long Island venues are like country clubs
Exclusive membership and I could get you one if you just
Join a Beach Boys tribute band
It is not stealing hey you're just a fan
Cause they don't know about surf
And they've never heard of twang
Imagine the people screaming when you
Take the stage
Let me show you my long hair wig
When I go and play fake Jimmy Page
I appreciate your words to me
About these tribute bands we'll have to disagree
I don't really care about live shows
And where the surf thing takes me no one really knows so I won't
Join a Beach Boys tribute band
And pretend I'm not what I really am
Cause they don't know about surf
And they never heard of twang
No I can't join a Beach Boys tribute band
I would miss my guys and my high top van
Cause they don't know about surf
And they never heard of twang
