Summer (of Love’s) Almost Gone

Summer (of Love’s) Almost Gone

Summer’s gone, and The Summer of Love is but a distant memory of a past life, this got The AKF wondering, what happened to that archetypal image of fun in the sun, The Beach Buggy?

Hi-jacked by degenerates and reprobates like Charlie and the gang, that was it’s downfall…….

”On August 16, the sheriff’s office raided Spahn Ranch and arrested Manson and twenty-five others, “suspects in a major auto theft ring” that had been stealing Volkswagens and converting them into dune buggies. Weapons were seized; but because the warrant had been mis-dated, the group was released a few days later. Raiding the Myers and Barker ranches, authorities had found stolen dune buggies and other vehicles and had arrested two dozen persons, including Manson. Manson was found hiding beneath a bathroom sink….”

Beach Buggy History

Beach Buggy Boy

Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, hangin’ around,
Hangin’ around, at the edge of your town,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, out in the sun,
Drivin’ around, just lookin’ for fun,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

We like doin’ it a funky,
We like doin’ it right, we
Like balalaika music,
From the house of red light,
Parked up on the sidewalk,
By the lingerie store,
Loadin’ up with ammo,
For the Friday night war,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, hangin’ around,
Hangin’ around, at the edge of your town,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, number one,
Drivin’ around, just me and my gun,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

Hey boy don’t you be a’,
Goin’ up there,
All the freaks come out,
For the national state fair,
Trucks full of beer,
Trucks full of buns,
All a drivin’ around,
Just shootin’ their guns,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, hangin’ around,
hangin’ around, at the edge of your town,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, out in the sun,
Drivin’ around, just lookin’ for fun,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

We like psychedelic surfing,
We like warm leatherette, we,
Get our medication from,
A Vietnamese vet ,
He snorts like a bull,
Snarls like a dog, in,
His Lincoln Continental,
High on the hog,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy Boy.

Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, hangin’ around,
Hangin’ around, at the edge of your town,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy, number one,
Drivin’ around, just me and my gun,
Beach Buggy, Beach Buggy,
Beach Buggy, Boy.
