Surfin' Summer Nuggets Vol. 3
http://www.coolhand-records.com/surfin-nuggets1-3.html

Hey mom, If any other girl from the baseball team
Ever call me on the phone
to ask me to play an important game
just say their captain ain't at home

Tell 'em I'm surfin'
(Don't care about hittin' homeruns now)
Tell 'em I'm surfin'
(Wanna have me some fun fun fun now)
I'm tradin' in you know that ball sail sea
and then the fall
I'm goin' surfin'

And if that pretty little girl from across the street
Who's been botherin' me for days
To go swimmin' in her pool well
her pool's real cool
But it hasn't got ten foot waves

Tell her I'm surfin'
(she's a mighty, mighty cute girl now)
Tell her I'm surfin'
(but I'd rather be shooting the curl, now)
If she wants some company
I'll be out at Wind and sea
I'm goin' surfin'

Last year I had a summer job
and all day long I had to run around
But now I can afford a new surfboard
And all summer long I'm gonna bum around

So just pack me a lunch and I'll be on my way
Oh, yeah there's one more thing to do
If the mailman comes with a letter for me
Just forward it to Malibu

Where I'll be surfin'
(just drop it in my '34 Ford now)
Tell 'em I'm surfin'
(I'll read it while I'm waxin' my board now)
I won't be home for days, I'll be ridin' the waves,
I’m goin' surfin’

I’m goin' surfin’
(Gonna throw my books away)
I’m goin' surfin’
(You're gonna surf twenty-four hours a day now)
I won't be home for days, I'll be ridin' the wave

I'm goin' surfin'
I'm goin' surfin'
(Fade out)
