Go! (Sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun)
I live for the sun
Because it means fun
Pretty girls with their guys
Such a love you can't buy
They, they all live for the sun

Go! (Sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun)
My girl, my girl & me
We will stay right by the sea
Livin' & lovin' this way
We're with the sun every day
We, we all live for the sun

Go! (Sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun)
Sunsets are for lovers
& dancin' mothers
Oh & little girls & their brothers
They all live for the sun

Go! (Sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun)
Listen, listen up
Don't be, don't be a dump
Take your girl by the hand
Walk with her in the sand
Always, yes always
We gotta live for the...
(x3):
(Sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun)
