Down in Doheny where the surfers all go There's a big bleach blondie, named Surfer Joe He's got a green surfboard and a Woody to match And when he's ridin' the freeway's Man, is he hard to catch
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
I saw him one day flyin' down the road With tenty-six surfboards And a hundred pound load I knew where he was headin' Tryin' to reach the playground Of the surfer's, Doheny Beach
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
He went down to Huntington Beach one week For the annual surfer's convention meet 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-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
Okay let's go!
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's Marines today They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away They cut off his big blonde locks, I'm told And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe
Now, no, that didn't stop him Or keep him away When the surf was up He still had his day They caught him at the trestle Down by the sea And now, poor Joe is doin' KP
Surfer Joe Now, look at him go-o-o-o-o-o Surfer, Surfer, Surfer Joe-o-o Go man go-o-o Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Surfer Joe

Als ik zelf es een kamer had
heel ver weg van de grote stad
en op m'n eige zat ...
O, zou dat niet zalig zijn?
Als ik zelf es een stoofken had
lekker warm en hoe goe was dat
en sjoklatjes at ...
O, zou dat niet zalig zijn?
O, zo zalig gezellig zitte op m'n eigen stoel totdat 'k 't
voorjaar weer ineens heel diep in m'n botten voel
Als er dan iemand komen zou
die zou zeggen "ik hou van auw"
en voor me zorgen wou ...
O, zou dat niet zalig zijn?
... zalig zijn! ... zalig zijn!

Mannen rond het vuur:

Als er dan iemand komen zou
die zou zeggen "ik hou van jou"
en voor me zorgen wou ...
O, zou dat niet zalig zijn?
... zalig zijn! ... zalig zijn!
Als er dan iemand komen zou
die zou zeggen: "ik hou van jou"
en voor mij zorgen wou ...
O, zou dat nou niet zalig zijn?
... zalig zijn! ... zalig zijn!
... zalig zijn! ... zalig zijn!

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
