First thing I thought of was “Surfer Joe”, by the Surfaris.
The flip side to “Wipe Out”
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam’s marines today
They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away
They cut of his big blonde locks I’m told
And when he went on maneuvers Joe caught cold
Surfer Joe, now look at him go
Surfer, surfer
Surfer Joe, go man go,
Oh surfer Joe
Oh oh, oh oh, poor Joe
Nah, now that didn’t stop him or keep him away
When the surf was up he still had his day
They caught him at the trestle
Down by the sea
And now poor Joe is doing KP
Surfer Joe, now look at hime go
Surfer, surfer surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh oh oh oh Surfer Joe
Oh-huh-oh oh-huho oh-huh-o
(Poor Joe)
From a kinder, gentler time...
