Gather round all you preppies and I tell you why
I'd rather be a Harvard than a surfer guy
My slack El Dorado makes a woody hard to see
If I've a board in back there's a room for extra company
I get my kicks on the turf and you can have that salty sea
Hanging ten doesn't look like fun to me
I don't care much for parks and I'm not too fond of starless
So that some sandy beach is where I'll be
I'm just a happy ho-Daddy with a ragtime caddy
And I haven't got a cure in the world
I love to sit in the sun till the day is done
And go to all the parties for a one date girl
While the safers try to drown
I get my sleep and slowly brown
So I got the extra evening time to play
When you surfers day is done
That's where Mama is just begun
And I make the scene until the break of day
I don't want to brag but when I'm cruising the drap
In my ragtop with the top down
All the surfers in their goodies
With their chrome plated goodies
Try to take me and they always get shut down
I'm just a happy ho-Daddy with a ragtime caddy
And I haven't got a cure in the world
I love to sit in the sun till the day is done
And go to all the parties for a one date girl.
