Also, it was uptempo. Also, it was a dance track from what I remember.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for... probably not.

There is a song called Laying on a beach

Joel Plaskett Emergency - Lying On A Beach Lyrics
Play Music
Somebody introduced me
To a member of the club
I think that they confused me
With some other rub-a-dub-a-dub
Now, I work on the fifth floor
And nothing is my fault
I take advice like margueritas
With a heavy grain of salt
I always wake up in the night
Wondering if I'm doing it right
And if I had my way
I'd be getting on this flight tonight
And in the morning I'd be
Lying on a beach in the sun
Lying to my family and friends
Telling them that I have begun
Trying to find the means to an end
Lying on a beach in the sun
Lying just to cover my ass
Lying in the sun on the beach
Burning like the girls in the grass

I should be working on my manners
But I'm working on my website
All you star-spangled scanners
Trying to photocopy moonlight
Staring at the computer screen
Feeling so alone and obscene
Getting restless
Getting randy
Getting mean
Lying on a beach in the sun
Looking for a little romance
The temperature's a hundred and one
Everybody take off your pants
Lying on a beach in the sun
Trying to figure out what to do
Lying in the sun on the beach
I realized I did not have a clue

I'm full of hocus pocus
And I'm slower than molasses
I'm coming in and out of focus
Like a magic pair of glasses
I go down to the staff room at lunchtime
I'm like a joke but there's never a punch line
And if you step on my toes I'll blow up just like a landmine
Give me a reason I'll be
Lying on a beach in the sun
Nobody but my money and me
Is this your definition of fun
I'm bored it's only twenty past three (You should go for a swim)
I'll still be clinging to the company line
There's sharks out there I think I saw a fin
Or maybe I'm just losing my mind

Somebody take a memo
We're all on automatic
When I get it back together
We're gonna need a little static
Somebody check my pulse
Slap me in the face
Show me what I'm made of
Get me out of this place
It's like a weird technological dream
Watching buddies turn into machines
We never get our hands dirty
But paradise is never this clean
Come on
Lying on a beach in the sun
Don't want to get burned to a crisp
You want something to remember me by
You can save it on a floppy disk
So long
Farewell
You can kiss my ass goodbye
If I don't jump ship right now
I'll never figure out how to fly

It would help to know the year of the song.

I'm wondering if you misheard some of words.

Here are a couple of songs for starters...

The chorus was chanted instead of sung.

Because of its music style, it could be a '90s song that was still played until the mid-00s.
