SURFER JOE
Album : "Wipe Out"

The Surfaris
Also recorded by : Deja Voodoo, Krontjong Devils.


Down in Doheny where the surfers all go
There's a big bleach blondie, named Surfer Joe
He's got a green surfboard and a Woody to match
And when he's ridin' the freeway's, 
Man, is he hard to catch

Chorus:
Surfer Joe
Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o
Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o
Go man go-o-o
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe

I saw him one day flyin' down the road
With tenty-six surfboards
And a hundred pound load
I knew where he was headin'
Tryin' to reach the playground 
Of the surfer's, Doheny Beach

Repeat Chorus

He went down to Huntington Beach one week
For the annual surfer's convention meet
Hangin' five and walkin' the nose
And when the meet was over
The trophy was Joe's

Repeat Chorus

Okay let's go!

-Instrumental-

Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's Marines today
They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away
They cut off his big blonde locks, I'm told
And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold

Repeat Chorus

Now, no, that didn't stop him
Or keep him away
When the surf was up
He still had his day
They caught him at the trestle
Down by the sea
And now, poor Joe is doin' KP

Repeat Chorus

Ah, ah, oh - ah, ah, oh - ah, ah, oh
Poor Joe!
