Tell ‘em I’m Surfin’ Songtext
von Jan & Dean

Hey, Mama
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'
Well, I'd rather be shootin′ the curl now
If she was my 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 ball 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 him I′m surfin'
I′ll read it while I'm waxing my board now
Tell him I′m surfin'
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 waves
I′m goin' surfin′...
