Two girls for ev-‘ry boy

I bought a '3-0 Ford wag-on 
3*  -2  -2  3* 3* -3* 3*

4      4  4   4    4   4
(Surf Cit-y, here we come)
-5*  -5* -5*   -6 -5*-5* 4  -3*
You know it's not ver-y cher-ry,

Two girls for ev-‘ry boy

You see they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always somethin' goin'
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Well, with two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy

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
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl

And we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
Ya, we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
