WOODIE VERSE

Surf City

I got a '34 wagon and I call it a Woody
Surf City here we come
You know its not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Surf City here we come
Well it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I want to go.

(Chorus)
Well we're going to Surf City where it's two to one
Yeah we're going to Surf City and a-have some fun
(Repeat)
Two girls for every boy

Well there's never any tension 'cause there's always
something goin'
Surf City...
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City...
Well there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

(Chorus)

And if my Woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
Surf City....
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet suit
Surf City...
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl

(Chorus)

Surf City was the first surf song to go # 1 on the record charts. The lyrics were penned by Brian Wilson and Dean Torrence, and sung by Jan and Dean.

My Old Dodge Woodie

My old Dodge woodie is but a dream 
most car lovers can never fulfill. 
It has a heart and soul, you see, 
and I know that it always will.

It's made of oak and maple, and more, 
and a ton and a half of steel. 
A thing you can always appreciate 
when you actually take the wheel. 

It has an enduring heartbeat; 
You can feel the engine throb. 
The beauty of the animal is, 
she'll go out and do the job! 

Whenever you get the urge to go, 
You can depend on her to perform. 
She'll get you there and back again, 
In the sun, the rain, or the storm.

Yes, there's something about a Woodie
That makes your old heart pound.
If they're ever outlawed from the road,
Don't expect me to stay around!

— Blaine E. Sowers

Woodie Woe

It's easy enough to be pleasant
When your Woodie's giving no pain,
But the man worthwhile
Is the man who can smile
When driving along in the rain
Or trying to start the engine after a hurricane!

— Ann & Al Reeves

Those Yummy Woodies

Most folks do not realize 
That the beautiful wood 
on our beloved cars 
is the very same wood 
that produces that tasty syrup we all idolize. 

On pancakes, waffles, biscuits and more, 
the Mighty Maple makes it all taste so 'goody'. 
In honor of the Maple 
that was sacrificed to become a 'woody' 
we could do them homage and plant many a score, 
and in our kitchens make the pancake, waffle, and biscuit a staple, 
and delight in some maple syrup some more !

— Suzanne Carr, The Wood N'Carr
