Sidewalk Surfin’
Jan And Dean
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
Don’t be afraid to try the newest sport around
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
It’s catchin’ on in every city and town
You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
«Quasimodo» or «The Coffin» too (why don’t you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
You’ll probably wipeout when you first try to shoot the curve
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Takin’ gas in a bush takes a lotta nerve…
Those hopscotch poledads and pedestrians, too, will bug ya…
Shout «Cuyabunga!» now and skate right on through (why don’t you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
«Quasimodo» or «The Coffin» too (why don’t you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
So get your girl and take her tandem down the street
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Then she’ll know you’re an asphalt athlete.
A downhill grade, man, will give you a kick,
But if the sidewalk’s cracked, ya better pull out quick (why don’t you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
(Skateboard with me, why don’t you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
(Skateboard with me, why don’t you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
(Skateboard with me, why don’t you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…
(Skateboard with me, why don’t you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin’ with me…(FADE OUT)
