about

The legend of Surfer Joe, the phantom tsunami-rider of Malibu, and his search for love.

lyrics

SURFER JOE

There’s an undead dude all the surfers know.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
He was drowned and dead thirty years ago.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
But he won’t sleep quiet in his watery grave,
He surfs the ocean on a tidal wave,
That’s no way to behave!
Surfer Joe.

He’s got bits missing but he just won’t quit.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
His board’s all covered with weeds an’ shit.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
He’s the gnarliest corpse you’ve ever seen,
He’s got big holes where the fish have been,
He’s phosphorescent green.
Surfer Joe.

A Barracuda chewed off his dick.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
But he still wants to find him a surfer chick.
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
So he’s surfing across the ocean blue,
To get his decomposing hands on you,
Then he’ll take you to the barbecue.
Surfer Joe.

(JOE): I love you…
I really love you… Let me hold your hand… I love you…

He’s caught a wave and it’s heading West,
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
Two hundred feet from trough to crest,
Surfer Joe, Surfer Joe,
He’s hanging five on that awesome curl
And he’s thinking about his surfer girl.
He’s coming fast, and he can’t wait
He’s laying waste to half the State,
Then he’ll ask you for a date.
Surfer Joe.

(JOE): I love you…
I really love you…
Let me hold your hand…
Gee, you look swell..
Your hair smells nice..
I love you…
