Lyrics They Won't Let Us Show It at the Beach - Bobby Bare

Yeah, they won't let you show it at the beach
No, they won't let you show it at the beach
They think that we might grab it if it gets within our reach
So, they won't let you show it at the beach

But you can show it in your parlor to most anyone you choose
You can show it at a party with your second shot of booze
You can flash it on a corner wearin' overcoat and shoes
But they won't let you show it at the beach

No, they won't let you show it at the beach
No, they won't let you show it at the beach
They think that we might grab it if it gets within our reach
So, they won't let you show it at the beach

But you can show it in the movies on a panoramic screen
You can show it in the most sophisticated magazine
You can show it while you're bouncin' on the high school trampoline
But they won't let you show it at the beach

If you got a gun it's legal to display it on your hip
You can show your butcher knives to any interested kid
But if it's made for lovin' you gotta keep it hid
And they won't let us show it at the beach

No, they won't let you show it at the beach
No, they won't let you show it at the beach
They think that we might grab it if it gets within our reach
So, they won't let you show it at the beach

No, they won't let you show it at the beach
No, they won't let you show it at the beach
They think that we might grab it if it gets within our reach
So, they won't let you show it at the beach

No, they won't let you show it at the beach
No, they won't let you show it at the beach
