Well, it ain’t got a back set or a rear window

You know they never roll the streets up ’cause there’s always

And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

And if my woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I’ll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
