Surfer Joe Lyrics
Down in Doheny where the surfers all go
There's a big beach blondie named Surfer Joe
He's got a green woody & a board to match
And when he's riding the waves, man is he hard to catch
Surfer Joe, now look at him go-o-o
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
Joe went to Huntington's Meet one week
Where the annual surfing convention meet
He was hangin' five and walkin' the nose
And when the Meet was over, the trophy was Joe's
Surfer Joe, now look at him go-o-o
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's marines today
They stationed him at Penalton, not far away
They cut off his long blond locks I'm told
And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold
Surfer Joe, now look at him go-o-o
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
There's a big beach blondie named Surfer Joe
He's got a green woody & a board to match
And when he's riding the waves, man is he hard to catch
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
Where the annual surfing convention meet
He was hangin' five and walkin' the nose
And when the Meet was over, the trophy was Joe's
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
They stationed him at Penalton, not far away
They cut off his long blond locks I'm told
And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe

On the first line....its not YOHEE... Its the beach DOHENY BEACH... near Laguna Nigel, California....so DOHENY (where the surfers all go)
oh...its PENDELTON (Army Camp) not Penalton
oh...its PENDELTON (Army Camp) not Penalton
I don't know who posted these lyrics, but it's like they never heard the song before! There are so many mistakes, I lost track counting them!! It's funny, it's not that hard a song to understand, that's if you speak english!! lol
Also, he was stationed at (Camp) Pendleton, which is a Marine Base north of Oceanside, CA, not "Penalton".
The song in this form doesn't make as much sense as the unedited version, which has two extra verses. after Joe caught cold (not "got cold"). After Joe goes AWOL, he ends up on KP (Kitchen Patrol).
