Don't be afraid to try the newest sport around (Bust your buns, bust your buns now) It's catchin' on in every city and town You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a "Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... You'll probably wipeout when you first try to shoot the curve (Bust your buns, bust your buns now) Takin' gas in a bush takes a lotta nerve... Those hopscotch poledads and pedestrians, too, will bug ya... Shout "Cuyabunga!" now and skate right on through (why don't you) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... You can do the tricks the surfers do, just try a "Quasimodo" or "The Coffin" too (why don't you) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... So get your girl and take her tandem down the street (Bust your buns, bust your buns now) Then she'll know you're an asphalt athlete. A downhill grade, man, will give you a kick, But if the sidewalk's cracked, ya better pull out quick (why don't you) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me... (Skateboard with me, why don't you skateboard me?) Grab your board and go sidewalk surfin' with me...(FADE OUT) --- A couple of notes (from jaydeebee1@aol.com): This song uses some words, slang and phrases that were popular with surfers back when the song was a hit on the radio (late 1964). Doing a "Quasimodo" (named after the Hunchback of Notre Dame character) or "The Coffin" were two maneuvers a surfer could perform on a board. For example, doing "The Coffin" was to lie on your back on your board and ride it in with your arms folded over your chest, eyes closed, as if you were lying dead in a coffin. "Takin' gas" means the same as "wiping out" -- as in, "My board flipped out from under me and the next thing I knew I was takin' gas!" And, since skateboarders were "surfing" on concrete or asphalt, you were liable to "bust your buns" if you fell. Also, sidewalk surfers (skateboarders) faced the hazards of pedestrians as well as kids playing hopscotch on the sidewalk -- "hopscotch-poledads" -- "poledads" being a term similar to "gremmie" or "dweeb" that surfers used to describe an annoying geek or nerd. And, lastly, in the song, Jan Berry uses the surfing battle cry "Cuyabunga!" (a slight variation on "Cowabunga!") -- a word that, today, still surfaces occasionally Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Popsicle, Sidewalk Surfin, Surf City, The Little Old Lady From Pasadena, DER ROTE KNOPF, DIE SONNE DIE SCHEINT, FLASHGOTT, ICH M?CHTE NICHT DASS IHR MEINE LIEDER SINGT, IRGENDWIE IRGENDWO IRGENDWANN, S?HNE STAMMHEIMS, WWWHITLERDE, B?RGER VON KONSOLIEN, En Natt Forbi, Mor, Jeg Vil Tilbake, PaAn Igjen, PAn Igjen, PAn Igjen, Ryktet Forteller, Sommerfuggel I Vinterland, All I Do Is Dream Of You, Bambina, Beautiful Lady In Blue, I Wanna Be Loved, Im Shooting High, Melody From The Sky, Night Is Young And Youre So Beautiful, UNTIL THE REAL THING COMES ALONG, Until The Real Thing Comes Alongjg, Above And Beyond (the Call Of Love), All I Ever Need Is You, All The Time, Any Old Way You Do, Banks Of The Ohio, Beautiful People, Belle Of The Ball, Beyond The Sunset, Born A Woman, Break My Mind, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Burning Bridges, But Not For Love My Dear, Can You Feel It, Completely, Crying For Love, Day The World Stood Still, Dis-Satisfied, Everybody Loves A Lover, Evil On Your Mind, Fallen Star, For Loving You, Other Jan and Dean song Lyrics Baby Talk Lyrics Dead Mans Curve Lyrics Dead Mans Curve Lyrics Heart And Soul Lyrics New Girl In School Lyrics Popsicle Lyrics Ride The Wild Surf Lyrics Surf City Lyrics The Little Old Lady From Pasadena Lyrics Other Artists Jan and Kjeld Lyrics Jan Arden Lyrics Jan Bradley Lyrics Jan Dean Lyrics Jan Delay Lyrics Jan Delay feat Semsimilia Lyrics Jan Eggum Lyrics Jan Garber Lyrics Jan Howard Lyrics Jan Johansen Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
