            G                     Em
I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we called it a woody,
G
Surf City here we come
               G
You know it's not very cherry,
        Em
it's an oldie but a goody,
 G         Em
Surf City here we come
         C                        Am
Well, it ain't got a back seat or rear window
 C                            D
but it still gets me where I wanna go

Chorus:
             G
Yeah, we're goin' to Surf City,
'cause it's two to one
                G
You know we're goin' to Surf City,
gonna have some fun
                C
You know we're goin' to Surf City,
'cause it's two to one
                G
You know we're goin' to Surf City,
gonna have some fun, yeah

They say they never roll the scoops
Because there's always something goin
Surf City, here we come
You know, they're either out surfing
or they got a party growin
Surf City, here we come
Well it's two surfin honey for every guy
And all you got to do is just wink your eye

Chorus

And if my woody breaks down
I'll get somewhere as a surfer Surf City,
here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch
a ride in my wet-suit Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City,
I'll be shooting pearl
And checking out the parties for surfer girls
