Selling shoes   Another loser working in a shopping mall   9 to 5   A slave driver telling me "Get on the ball!"   A crowded store   I kneel before them   Misery beyond compare   Sweaty socks   A lady boxer   What's she got against fresh air?   I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion   Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach      CHORUS   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)   I, I, I wanna guard your life   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)   Hardly any clothes (lifeguard)   Sand between my toes (lifeguard)   White stuff on my nose      Selling shoes   Another loser working in a shopping mall   I'm getting fat   What does it matter?   Nobody cares at all   But next July, I'll say goodbye to every out-of-it, dull-witted fool   Convert their feet into meters, marking distance at the swimming pool   Summer blondes revealing tanlines   I'll make more moves than Allied Van Lines      CHORUS   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (be a big man, now... get a great tan, now)   I, I, I wanna guard your life   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)   Sitting on my chair (lifeguard)   In the salty air (lifeguard)   White stuff on my nose   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)   I, I, I wanna guard your life   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)   Lounging on the deck (lifeguard)   Whistle 'round my neck (lifeguard)   White stuff in my nose   I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
