   Surfaris – Surfer Joe Lyrics

   Down in Doheny where the surfers all go
   There’s a big, bleached blondie named Surfer Joe
   He has a green surfboard with a woody to match
   And when he’s ridin’ the freeways
   Man, is he hard to catch!
   Surfer Joe, now look at him go
   Surfer, surfer
   Surfer Joe, go man go
   Oh, oh oh oh Surfer Joe

   I saw him one day flyin’ down the road
   With 26 surfboards and a hundred pound load
   I knew where he was headin’, tryin’ to reach
   The playground of the surfboarders, Doheney Beach
   Surfer Joe, now look at him go
   Surfer, surfer
   Surfer Joe, go man go
   Oh, oh oh oh Surfer Joe

   He went down to Huntington Beach one week
   For the annual surfers’ convention meet
   He was hangin’ five and walkin’ the nose
   And when the meet was over, the trophy was Joe’s
   Surfer Joe, now look at him go
   Surfer, surfer
   Surfer Joe, go man go,
   Oh, oh oh oh Surfer Joe
   Ok let’s go

   [Interlude]
   Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam’s marines today
   They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away
   They cut of his big blonde locks I’m told
   And when he went on maneuvers Joe caught cold
   Surfer Joe, now look at him go
   Surfer, surfer
   Surfer Joe, go man go,
   Oh surfer Joe
   Oh oh, oh oh, poor Joe

   Nah, now 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 doing kp
   Surfer Joe, now look at him go
   Surfer, surfer surfer Joe
   Go man go
   Oh oh oh oh Surfer Joe
   Oh-huh-oh oh-huho oh-huh-o
   (Poor Joe)
