Am                   C/G
Here's a story 'bout Surfer Joe
D/F#
He caught the big one
           F
But he let it go
F           F/E
There's somebody
F/G   F/E       E
Satisfied with winning

Back on the boardwalk
There's Moe the Sleaze
Seels good things
And aims to please
He's almost even
But he doesn't mind a handout

Chorus:
D        A           D        A
Come on down for a pleasure cruise
D          A           D         A
We're all going on a pleasure cruise
D        A           D        A
Come on down for a pleasure cruise
D          A       D        A
Plenty of women, plenty of booze

Give your ticket
To Moe the Sleaze
He's the one that's weak in the knees
His pants are baggy
But you can see them shaking

I'll introduce you to Surfer Joe
He may be there
I really don't know
We can only smoke garfong
And watch him ride the big one

Chorus

Come on down
We're all goin'
Come on down
Women, booze

Here's a story 'bout Surfer Joe
He caught the big one
But he let it go
There's somebody
Satisfied with winning

Here's a story 'bout Surfer Joe
He caught the big one
And he let it go
He's somebody
He's somebody

Come on down
We're all goin'
Come on down
Women
Booze
