Surf Rock (1964)

Intro - lush vocal harmonies

Oooh (whap-wah-ooh)

Do-do ba-do-bah do

It's the new sensation goin' round the town

Yeah, it's the new trend for 1964

It's the sound of reverb tanks and walkin' bass lines

It's Surf Rock, yeah.

Surf Rock.

Verse 1

It is the sound of this new decade

Jangly Fender Jaguars and a cuttin' Strat lead

Dripped in reverb and followed by some drivin' drums

Topped off with finesse from a Precision Bass

It's Surf Rock!

Yeah, it's Surf Rock!

Chorus

Hit 'em with some vocals like this

(Ooh mow mow, papa ooh mow mow)

And you have a hit on your hands

Or you could do somethin' like this

(Ba-ba, ba-di-ba-da)

And still have some fun.

Yeah, it's Surf Rock!

(Ooh mow mow, papa ooh mow mow)

Verse 2

Then top it off with a good solo

Either from a guitar or a saxophone

Or even Hammond organ if you're feelin' brave

That's the beauty of this new kinda music!

It's Surf Rock!

Yeah, it's surf rock!

Instrumental break

Bridge

Then add a dash of Bluey and it's got some fun

She's dancin' right along to that walkin' bass

Feelin' the beat right in her paws

She's gonna start her own surf rock band.

Yeah, it's Surf Rock!

Surf Rock

Surf Rock

Yeah! It's Surf Rock..

Final Verse

Come on man, get in on the fun!

Start playin' fast and play it loose

It's a real sensation that's grippin' the town

It's the sound of the beach and bein' carefree

It's the sound of freedom personified!

It's Surf Rock, yeah!

Verse 4

Bluey and the Heelers, they're playin' tonight

Right at the old juke joint down on Surfer's Paradise

Bluey's leadin' the charge, swinging her skills on that guitar

While her lil' sister Bingo's hittin' the drums like ol' Dennis Wilson would

Her lil' cousin Muffin's hittin' that bass real hard, ooh baby.

Chorus

It's a real sensation that's grippin' the town

It's the sound of the beach and bein' carefree

It's the sound of freedom personified!

It's Surf Rock, yeah!

Surf Rock, yeah..

Surf Rock!
