Grounded For The Summer
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

You threw a party and they trashed the pad
You're catchin' hell from your mum and dad
I know some beer was sunk and things got rough
But Cinderella never had it so tough

Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
There's so much we're gonna do, the beach won't be the same without you
Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
but in my heart i'll still be true, when I'm with her i'll be thinking of you

Some kinda tyre tracks all down the hall
There's something floatin' in the shower stall
Billy's Harley chewed up the lawn
Your dad'll make you wish you were never born

Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
There's so much we're gonna do, the beach won't be the same without you
Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
but in my heart i'll still be true, when I'm with her i'll be thinking of you

 

That was the party to end them all
Now you're trapped in till the fall
Don't worry 'bout me I'll still have some fun
September, you can be my number one

Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
There's so much we're gonna do, the beach won't be the same without you
Grounded for the summer, Grounded for the summer
but in my heart i'll still be true, when I'm with her i'll be thinking of you

Honolulu High
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)
 

Well, there's a crazy little place down at Waikiki
Where it won't take long to get your rockin' degree
Surfboards hangin' from a bamboo roof, jukebox blarin' out the Untamed Youth
Dancin' Hula-Hulas wearing coconut shell, drinkin' blue hawaiians...all the way to hell

Well, they've got Frat party on Saturday night
You don't need to be a letterman to get an invite
Cheerleader girls don't come no better, they love showin' off their double H sweaters
They know all the shimmy's and the shakes and the moves, to take you on..a Polynesian groove

Honolulu High, they ain't got no school tie
The uniform's a lei, the motto "surf or die".

We'll toast those tiki guys and drink the campus dry
at Honolulu High

2-4-6-8 Honolulu H I G H
3-5-7-9 Steppin' outta line

Honolulu High, they ain't got no school tie
The uniform's a lei, the motto "surf or die".

We'll toast those tiki guys and drink the campus dry
at Honolulu High

See you all at graduation
As a bona fide member of the surfin' nation
We don't care what the principal says, we're gonna hang ten to the sounds of El Vez
The pen is mightier than the sword but it ain't no match for a big gun board

Honolulu High, they ain't got no school tie
The uniform's a lei, the motto "surf or die".

We'll toast those tiki guys and drink the campus dry
at Honolulu High

I Wanna Winnebago
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

I thought how cool it would be, to sleep in the car right by the sea
So I went and bought a big old Ford, with a stereo and room for me and my board
But pretty soon I realised that no matter how hard I tried
When I needed to hit the sack, you can't get to sleep with a jack in your back
The cold and the damp won't go away, there's only one thing I've got to say

I wanna wanna Winnebago, And I want it right now
I've gotta get a Winnebago, anyway anyhow

I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna Winnebago
I Wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna want it right now

I always wanted to tour, but that was before, now I know more
I always end up half dead, cos a Farfisa ain't the place to rest your head
As we're clockin' up those miles, we see bands travellin' in style
That machine's the reason they're so clean, If I could get to sleep i'd only have one dream
There's loads more places we wanna play, still one thing I've got to say

I wanna wanna Winnebago, And I want it right now
I've gotta get a Winnebago, anyway anyhow

I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna Winnebago
I Wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna want it right now

 

She Doesn't Understand Me
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

Some nights she'll layon her bed, out of her head with jealousy
Just cos some girl has come up to talk to me
I've always got to be on call, to catch her when she falls
But she doesn't understand me at all, she doesn't understand me at all

I go out, have a few beers, out come the tears when I get home
Sometimes, you know, I just got to go it alone
Each time I start to have a ball, I know i'll get that call
She doesn't understand me at all, she doesn't understand me at all

Sometimes I feel that she's the girl for me, but you see
She just won't let me be what I can be...

I've always got to be on call, to catch her when she falls
But she doesn't understand me at all, she doesn't understand me at all

Sometimes I feel that she's the girl for me, but you see
She just won't let me be what I can be...

I go out, have a few kicks, I'm still back at six for breakfast time
You'd think that I'd committed a capital crime
Life could be so wonderful, but I'm backed against the wall
She doesn't understand me at all, she doesn't understand me at all

She doesn't, she doesn't she doesn't understand me at all

Surf Drags and Rock'n'Roll
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

I was drivin' down the street,to the sound of a different beat
I'd never felt that groove before, till a wave hit me to the floor
My head went purple and green, I saw the devil in my rear windscreen
Draggin' Jesus in an A-bone Ford, but I never had to thank the Lord I found


Surf drags and rock'n'roll, Yeah baby that's my goal
I've got these things kickin' in my skull they go....

Voodoo drew me to this Tiki Bar, Downing zombies to surf guitars
Sandy poundin' a crazy beat, Jungle rhythm's got me outta my seat
Rose a toast to Beachcomber Don, Faye Wray and old King Kong
There's a monkey who knew the score, but he should never have opened that door to

Surf drags and rock'n'roll, Yeah baby that's my goal
I've got these things kickin' in my skull they go....

Holy Guacamole
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

Well, they passed me a menu said "Now take a look"....Holy Guacamole
I said "Gimme a bowl of that pale green gook"...Holy Guacamole
I don't wanna dip of sour cream and chives...Holy Guacamole
There's just one thing that makes my taste buds come alive....Holy Guacamole

I like guacamole, you like guacamole, we like guacamole too

Well, I like some ketchup if I've got some fries....Holy Guacamole
and a bowl of salsa on the side is kinda nice...Holy Guacamole
Mustard and mayonaise have got their place...Holy Guacamole
But don't ya give them to me or they'll go to waste....Holy Guacamole

I like guacamole, you like guacamole, we like guacamole too

Holy guacamole, holy guacamole, Holy guacamole, Holy guacamole

I like guacamole, you like guacamole, we like guacamole too

Well, Chinese and Italian are not on my list....Holy Guacamole
They don't have guacamole so I give 'em a miss...Holy Guacamole
Ooh I'd eat a bucket of it if I could...Holy Guacamole
Oh man I really dig it cos it tastes so good....Holy Guacamole

I like guacamole, you like guacamole, we like guacamole too

Holy guacamole, holy guacamole, Holy guacamole, Holy guacamole

I like guacamole, you like guacamole, we like guacamole too

Honest John
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

You can't get a date without a car, Hitchin' a ride you won't get far
There's a guy downtown with all you need, genuine mileage guaranteed

A car's a necessity you can't avoid, off the premises all promises are null and void
Every sale has a warranty, and a join you can barely see.

Honest John has the wheels for you,
Honest John He has the deals for you
If you wanna get a life you know what to do,
Honest John will make your dreams come true

If you stopped by the cops
They can't trace the chassis or the block
You won't the registration on any list,
This car doesn't exist

Honest John has the wheels for you,
Honest John He has the deals for you
If you wanna get a life you know what to do,
Honest John will make your dreams come true

A verbal contract isn't binding, so forget about all those faults you're finding
Our interest rates are second to none, but miss a payment and you'd better run

Honest John has the wheels for you,
Honest John He has the deals for you
If you wanna get a life you know what to do,
Honest John will make your dreams come true

Been Awake All Night
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

Everytime I see her I haven't got a clue, what to say or what to do
The words I wanna use kinda get all confused, I may be smiling but I'm not amused
I've been losing sleep, over thoughts that I don't wanna keep to myself

I've gotta get you some day there's gotta be a way, to find the words I wanna say
What needs to be said is goin' round and round my head, but always comes out wrong instead
My hopes turn to feras, anytime that I get near to you

I've been awake all night hoping that I would dream of you, go little surfer, go little surfer, go When I see you in my sleep, I know what to say and do,
And I've heard it said, sometimes wishes don't come true.

So I've been awake all night, hoping that I would dream of you

I've been awake all night hoping that I would dream of you, go little surfer, go little surfer, go When I see you in my sleep, I know what to say and do,
And I've heard it said, sometimes wishes don't come true.

So I've been awake all night, hoping that I would dream of you

She Can't Dance
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

She could run a country but she couldn't run a mile,
And surfin's not an option in those heels,
She could melt the heart of any party going dude
But she can't dance in those shoes

She can't dance, she can't move
She can't dance, she can't dance in those shoes,
She can't shug, she can't groove
She can't dance, she can't dance in those shoes

Yeah she's got a beach bag full of everything you need,
She's even got the tools to wax your board
But she can't cut a rug because she's stuck fast in the dunes
No she can't dance in those shoes

She can't dance, she can't move
She can't dance, she can't dance in those shoes,
She can't shug, she can't groove
She can't dance, she can't dance in those shoes

Little Tiki Wagon

(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

It's got a bamboo dash, cost a whole lotta cash
She's a showboat, not for draggin',
But it still sounds sweet when I tear up the street
In my little Tiki Wagon

It's got a wooden grill and a V8 mill,
A sea chest to put my jack in,
Palm fronds on the roof (Cool!) Ain't it the truth!
My little Tiki Wagon

My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon, My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon,

Hawaiian beads all make up the seats,
And I hope that i'm not braggin',
I don't know how but we'll have a luau
In my little Tiki Wagon

My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon, My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon

I got a date tonight, at lovers' leap there might,
Be a place that I can back in,
I know she'll flip when we make that trip
In my little Tiki Wagon

My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon, My little tiki wagon, my little tiki wagon

It's got a bamboo dash, cost a whole lotta cash
She's a showboat, not for draggin',
But it still sounds sweet when I tear up the street
In my little Tiki Wagon,my little Tiki Wagon.my little Tiki Wagon.my little Tiki Wagon

Do You Wanna Drive To The Beach
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

I been workin' real hard all winter long
But I gave all my money to Honest John
I bought a souped up Chevy and it looks real fine
Let's go for a drive 'cos it's summertime
I called up the gang and everyone's cool
Nobody wants to spend the day in school.

Grab your baggies and bikinis let's hit the sand
Ah come on little girl just take my hand
I got a new car I wanna see how it runs
Any excuse is good when the summer comes
We'll head on out to where they're breakin'
Then we'll find a place where the action's shakin'

Do you wanna, Do you wanna
Do you wanna drive to the beach
Do you wanna, Do you wanna
Do you wanna drive to the beach
Come on, come on, come on,come on

The sunroof's stuck and the radio's shot
And the gauge says the motor is runnin' hot
We're gonna get there anyway anyhow
But we could sure use a miracle now
I'm not about to give up hope
Even if we get there on the end of a rope

Do you wanna, Do you wanna
Do you wanna drive to the beach
Do you wanna, Do you wanna
Do you wanna drive to the beach
Come on, come on, come on,come on

Psycho Surfer
(Dean/Gilling/Pearce/Weazel)

He's twisted, warped, round the bend
But they let him out at the weekend,
With multiple personalities
All of them load with hostility
Mad starin' switchblade eyes
Just one look can paralyse,

He turns up in a padded van
Spoutin' his world domination plan
He's only happy when he's ridin' his board,
It sure makes a change from bein' stuck in the ward
The coast in the most, the beach is fun
But it's better when you're totin' a BB gun

He's a psycho surfer ridin' on a wave outta hell
He's a psycho surfer anyone can tell he's not well,
He's a psycho surfer, he's just not right in the head
He's a psycho surfer, should be strapped to a hospital bed

He's mental, weird, out of his brain
Registered as clinically insane
Out of his tiny little mind
You can't lobotomize what you can't find
His wetsuit's got straps on the sleeves
Men in white coats do them up when he leaves

He's a psycho surfer ridin' on a wave outta hell
He's a psycho surfer anyone can tell he's not well,
He's a psycho surfer, he's just not right in the head
He's a psycho surfer, should be strapped to a hospital bed
