Ride The Wild Surf

Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...
Don't be afraid to try the newest sport around
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
It's catchin' on in every city and town
You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
"Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...

You'll probably wipeout when you first try to shoot the 
curve
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Takin' gas in a bush takes a lotta nerve...
Those hopscotch poledads and pedestrians, too, will bug 
ya...
Shout "Cuyabunga!" now and skate right on through (why 
don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...

You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a
"Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...

So get your girl and take her tandem down the street
(Bust your buns, bust your buns now)
Then she'll know you're an asphalt athlete.
A downhill grade, man, will give you a kick,
But if the sidewalk's cracked, ya better pull out quick 
(why don't you)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)
Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...
(Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?)

Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...(FADE 
OUT)

Notes: This song uses some words, slang and phrases that 
were popular with surfers back when the song was a hit on
the radio (late 1964). Doing a "Quasimodo" (named after the
 Hunchback of Notre Dame character) or "The Coffin" were 
two maneuvers a surfer could perform on a board. For 
example, doing "The Coffin" was to lie on your back on your
 board
and ride it in with your arms folded over your chest, eyes 
closed, as if you were lying dead in a coffin. "Takin' gas"
 means the same as "wiping out" -- as in, "My board flipped
 out from under me and the next thing I knew I was takin' 
gas!" And, since skateboarders were "surfing" on concrete 
or asphalt, you were liable to "bust your buns" if you 
fell. Also, sidewalk surfers (skateboarders) faced the 
hazards of pedestrians as well as kids playing hopscotch on
 the sidewalk -- "hopscotch-poledads" -- "poledads" being a
 term similar to "gremmie" or "dweeb" that surfers used to 
describe an annoying geek or nerd. And, lastly, in the 
song, Jan Berry uses the surfing battle cry "Cuyabunga!" (a
 slight variation on "Cowabunga!") -- a word that, today,
still surfaces occasionally.
