I bought a '34 wagon and we call it a Woody
Surf City here we come
You know it's not very cherry as an oldie but a goodie

Well it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
And we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun

Surf City ...
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City ...

And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
And we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun'
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
And we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
Two girls for every boy
And if my Woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
Surf City ...
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet suit
Surf City ...
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the party for a surfer girl

You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
And we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one

Winter nights, twinkling lights And snowflakes falling to the ground The air is filled with Christmas Santas sleigh, kids at play Its that magic time of year When love is all around us And that magic seems To reach right out and touch me again Just like the years before Its Christmas in my heart

Sure Hit Songwriter's Pen Composer(s): Shel Silverstein First release by: Bobby Bare - 1973 Covered by: Shel Silverstein - 1978
I was hangin' round Nashville writin' songs And playin' them for all of the stars Watchin' them laugh and hand 'em back Livin' on hope and Hershey bars So I pawned my guitar and bought a ticket home And I's a headin' for the trailway bus When I seen an old fountain pen layin' in the gutter So I stopped and picked it up It was worn out and bent and cast aside Kinda sorta like myself So I sat down on the curb and wrote a little song That told the world how both of us felt Then I run that song down the Music Row And before I had time to spit It's pitched and sold and cut for a record And movin' up the charts and damned, it's a hit So I wrote me another winner Then I wrote me a smash again And it's a flyin' off the ground 'Cause I knew I found me a sure hit songrwiter pen
So the songs they just kept a pourin' out And the money kept pourin' in Oh, I just couldn't miss All it took was a twist of my sure hit songwriter's pen Remember when I won the Grammy Then I won it again and again Well none of you knew it was all due To my sure hit songwriter's pen I was a darling of all of the ladies I was a hero among the men Makin' big dough workin' rodeos and TV shows Me and my sure hit songwriter pen But then one night in Wichita I was just comin' off of the stage Folks all lined up screamin' for my autograph And, Lord, I was a nation rage One little freckle faced girl was there She said I got no pencil sir So I signed it with my songwriter pen And then handed the pen back to her
Four o'clock that morning I woke up with the shakes and the bends With terror in my eyes 'cause, good God, I realized I'd lost my sure hit songwriter pen I offered rewards in papers And I pleaded on the sympathy line And a whole lotta folks sent a whole lotta pens But none of them pens was mine So my songs got worse and my money ran out And so did all my good time friends And there was no doubt I was nothing Without my long lost sure hit songwriter pen So I rolled like a stone down old Skid Row Where I feed my blues on wine And I rest my chops in a two-bit flop And I tell my story for a drink or a dime And I sleep with my shoes underneath my head Dream about days back then When I blazed my name across the sky With my sure hit songwriter pen
Somewhere in Wichita, some little girl Who's freckle faced and nine or ten Is doin' her arithmetic homework tonight With the sure hit songwriter's pen I'll say God bless you honey You got yourself a sure hit songwriter pen there Write a song for me baby You got a sure hit songwriter pen Send me some money You got a sure hit songwriter pen
Zanzibar Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; Vincent Herring
Ali dances and the audience applauds Though he's beathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style Ali don't you go downtown You gave away another round for free
Me, I'm just another face at Zanzibar But the waitress always serves a secret smile She's waiting out in Shantytown She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
(chorus) I've got the old man's car, I've got a jazz guitar I've got a tab at Zanzibar Tonight that's where I'll be
Rose, he knows he's such a credit to the game But the Yankees grab the headlines every time Melodrama's so much fun In black and white for everyone to see Me, I'm trying just to get to second base And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign She's gonna give the go ahead The inning isn't over yet for me
(chorus)
Tell the waitress I'll come back to Zanzibar I'll be hiding inthe darkness with my beer. She's waiting out in Shantytown She's gonna pull the curtaains down for me, for me
Sure Had A Wonderful Time Last Night Composer(s): Claude Demetrius - Louis Jordan - Fleecie Moore Performer(s): B.B. King; Chris Daniels; The Treniers
I sure had a wonderful time last night Least wise they tell me I did
I sure had a wonderful time last night Really blew my lid
Went to a party, I recollect that much But after four or five, you know I lost my touch I sure had a wonderful time last night Least wise they tell me I did
I had a whale of good time last night Really got myself some kicks I sure had a wonderful time last night Took me right back to the sticks
Between that hillbilly band and old Uncle Zeke And that new atomic beverage that they called "Sneaky Pete"
I sure had a wonderful time last night Least wise they tell me I did
Sure had a wonderful time last night Don't know how I got to bed
Sure had a wonderful time last night Come here, feel this lump on my head
They say I got kinda noisy And started to shout Four big bouncers grabbed me But I threw them out I sure had a wonderful time last night Least wise they tell me I did
Sure had a wonderful time last night Really had myself some fun
Sure had a wonderful time last night Didn't get home until about half past one
You know I'd like to take you with me the next time I go But where the heck was it? Sure would like to know But I sure had a wonderful time last night
Zapatillas Y Libros Composer(s): Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Parte muy temprano hacia la escuela ocho añitos pesan el bolsón Por el techo pobre el sol se cuela como un ladrón, como un ladrón Piensa que ojalá esta vez no llueva en su corazón
Su imaginación a veces vuela se le va muy lejos del galpón Se silba bajito y se consuela con su canción, con su canción una que escuchó a las lavanderas lavar al son
En el pueblo esperan un milagro todos dan la espalda menos Dios Tantos se han quedado sin trabajo sin pan ni voz, sin pan ni voz
El río teñido de canela le enseñó paciencia y dirección Su madre pasó la noche en vela en su dolor, en su dolor El jura en silencio ya no verla en desazón
El pone esperanza y gasta suelas del único par que ya achicó Hoy nada asegura más la mesa por más sudor o educación Molino del mundo no le muelas esa ilusión, esa ilusión Molino del mundo no le muelas su determinación
Sure Gonna Miss Her Composer(s): Bobby Russell First release by: Gary Lewis & The Playboys - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
I never did too much to make her stay here And words of love to her I'd never say I guess I learned a lesson when she walked out to stay But I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her every day
I don't suppose I ever said "I love you" And I found out too late that wasn't right I'm just now realizin' what I lost, that's why I'm cryin' And I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her every night
I know I took her love for granted Guess you could say my love was blind Thought if she left that I could stand it Or else it didn't matter at the time
I heard she's found a guy that treats her better I hope he knows that *he's a lucky guy* I know the rumor's true because I saw her today And I'm sure gonna miss her, he was walking with her, sure gonna miss her, yes I am
Zaterdag Composer(s): Depryck; Van Holmen; N. Byl; Van Aleda Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Zaterdag, vrije dag Maar wat met de tijd gedaan Zaterdag, lege dag Geen afspraak om uit te gaan Ik zit bij de telefoon Waarom, waarom blijft die doof en stom
Zaterdag, kwart voor acht Te vroeg om naar bed te gaan Zaterdag, en ik wacht En hoop dat de bel zou gaan Maar niemand geeft mij een wenk Geen vriend, geen meisje die aan me denkt Neen niemand geeft mij een wenk Geen vriend, geen meisje die aan me denkt
Zaterdag, vrije dag Dus even naar buiten gaan Zaterdag, tegenslag Nu komt er nog regen aan De wereld is tegen mij En al de schuld daarvan ben jij

Ze Noemen Mij Een Playboy Composer(s): Andy Free; Cahelo Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Ik heb mij nooit willen binden Ik had vrienden en was vrij En de grote liefde vinden, voorgoed Nee, dat vond ik niets voor mij 'k Ben wel verliefd geweest maar weet waarom Het niet voor altijd blijven duren kon
Ze noemen mij een playboy, het is waar Het staat overal geschreven Ik vond het geen bezwaar dus ben ik maar Al zolang alleen gebleven
Ze noemen mij een playboy, anders niets Maar ik kan het niet geloven Want soms lig ik te wenen van verdriet En playboys wenen niet
Nu ben ik pas gaan begrijpen Hoe ongewoon m'n leven is 'k Wil nu een meisje om te blijven, voorgoed Om te vergeten wat ik mis Ik laat de liefde niet voorbij meer gaan Ik kan de eenzaamheid alleen niet aan
Ze noemen mij een playboy, het is waar Het staat overal geschreven Ik vond het geen bezwaar dus ben ik maar Al zolang alleen gebleven
Ze noemen mij een playboy, anders niets Maar ik kan het niet geloven Want soms lig ik te wenen van verdriet En playboys wenen niet
Ze noemen mij een playboy, anders niets Maar ik kan het niet geloven Want soms lig ik te wenen van verdriet En playboys wenen niet
Ze Zijn Niet Meer Als Vroeger Performer(s): Boudewijn De Groot
Tot nu toe was het nooit geheel volmaakt Verbrande steden en een volk om voor te sterven Een tomeloze liefde en een derde die het kon bederven Tot nu toe was het nooit geheel volmaakt Er is gezegd: er komen andere tijden Er is gevochten voor een nieuw fatsoen Er is niet geluisterd naar wat anderen zeiden Ik heb geen zin het nog eens over te doen
Het is nu beter al je vrienden maar te mijden Ze veranderen snel en zijn niet meer als toen
De grote waarheid is intussen achterhaald Wat vroeger wet was, is nu bij de wet verboden De ouderen zijn niet meer zoals vroeger halve goden En de vis wordt ook niet meer zo duur betaald
Natuurlijk zijn er mensen die nog lijden En vrede is nog steeds een visioen Het is geen tijd om nu je bedje al te spreiden Al zijn er mensen die dat nu al doen.
Het is dus beter al je vrienden maar te mijden Ze veranderen snel en zijn niet meer als toen
Maar denk in godsnaam niet dat we er al zijn Er moet zowel het een en ander nog gebeuren En het blijft vechten hoewel de anderen niet ophouden met zeuren Dat het vroeger beter was, zo rustig en zo fijn
Dat zijn je vrienden die eertijds altijd zeiden dat zij het later anders zouden doen Ze wilden zich van elk gezag bevrijden Nu doen ze niets, ze houden hun fatsoen
Het is dus beter deze vrienden maar te mijden Ze veranderen snel en zijn niet meer als toen
Morgen is het weer zoals vandaag Het lijkt veranderd, maar jullie weten beter Al wordt de grond intussen onder jullie voeten heter Jullie rekenen niet af, je bent te traag
Er is gezegd er komen andere tijden Er is gevochten voor een nieuw fatsoen Er is niet geluisterd naar wat anderen zeiden Ik heb geen zin het nog eens over te doen
Daarom heb ik besloten jullie maar te mijden Jullie zijn hetzelfde, geen vrienden meer als toen
