Jan & Dean - Surf City Lyrics
Two girls for every boy
I bought a '34 wagon and we call it a woodie
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
Yeah, we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they've got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Yeah, there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
And I'm going to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one, now
Two girls for every boy
And if my woodie breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
(Surf City, here we come)
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wetsuit
(Surf City, here we come)
And when I get to Surf City, I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for a surfer girl
And I'm going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know, we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun
You know, we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know, we're going to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every
Two girls for every boy

Jan & Dean Surf City Comments
Surfcity here we cum
These guys were the Beach Boys before the Beach Boys were the Beach Boys.
Looks like they got killed in the woody
Edit “ injured
This song is responsible for the gentrification of Surf City. Now the water is always crowded and there are 9 dudes for every chick. It's terrible
Just be a chad.
2-1??? Oh boy
I always thought this was a Beach Boys song.
Surf city here we come....
enjoy, great music
Two hot boys for every girl! ☀️😜💓 is better!
I wanna swingin’ honey
if it weren't for Jan and Dean there wouldn't be the Beach Boys
Two girls? Where!!!!
This is it !
Now this is what i call music!
いつもお爺ちゃんの車でこれ流れてるから思い出す
I was 8 years old that year and my big brother used to go mad as when he went to work my mum would get his records out of his bedroom lmao now
Hollywood Knights

I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's 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 wanna go
And we're goin' to Surf City, cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah, we're goin' to Surf City, cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy

(Surf City, here we come)
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
(Surf City, here we come)
Well there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
You know we're goin' to Surf City, gonna have some fun

Thank you!
I was traveling yesterday by bus at 11pm, and one of the random old fellow bus travellers whom I didn't know , told me to checkout this song. Just randomly.
The first #1 hit Brian Wilson ever wrote!
1963 ...the all time greatest year in Rockn' & Roll!!!
fun times!
God bless the Beach Boys , Brian Wilson is without a doubt a genious
Certainly true , in future generations he will be revered alongside Beethoven,Bach and Mozart as one of the greatest composers of all time.
How can you not like this song?
There is quite a bit of confusion I read in these comments regarding WHERE SURF CITY IS. Well it is officially trademarked one place. READ IT AND WEEP ! I just smile ear to ear. In 2004 after the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau successfully filed the "Surf City USA" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. A settlement was eventually reached in January 2008, which allows Huntington Beach to retain the trademark. IT IS OFFICIAL
two popsicles for every boy...
Released May 17, 1963....became the 1st "Surf Song" to hit #1 on the national charts on July 20, 1963. It stayed there for 2 weeks. It also got to #3 on the R&B chart as well... a CLASSIC!!!
I love to read these little tid bits about this era. I grew up in Southern Calif. and loved surf music and all the rest from that era. Dick Dale and the Deltones were fabulousite but there were more of course. I was shocked when I found out Dick Dale was born in Boston though he spent his high school years in El Segundo. My husband is also from Boston. Who knew? Sadly, Dick Dale died this last March at 81. RIP Dick Dale. You were fabulous.
Well I was in 1st grade. And I heard this song many times, science then!
Very good group.........
This is another song I thought was the Beach Boys.......great song !! Get down Jan and Dean !! and get up again . Loving it
Got to see them live. Show cut short due to a bad thumderstorm that came in!
They are singing so good, these two guys and Brian helped them make it.
Now it's two guys for every guy.
lol !!!
Jan and Dean the forgotten men of rock n roll.
Cherrys, woodies, honeys, two girls for every boy... the perfect song for your next feminist convention.
I burned out my engine for going to surf city to much in the past ha notice the seals getting a tan? : https://www.instagram.com/p/BDHJ5LcrXPv/?igshid=m0y3ve69x6ya
with some help from the wrecking crew.
Love beach music , makes you feel so upbeat !
Surf City, Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
I should of paid more attention to this Jan & Dean Album back in 1968 when I was 3 years old -- and left Dam Cold Canada for good for Warm Sunny California ! LOL !! I would of fit right in with my dirty blond hair, and blue eyes ! What am I still here for ?
If you think it's The Beach Boys and aren't sure then it's Jan and Dean.
Huntington Beach,California😎🌴
Is there more of an Iconic American, 60's, West Coast song than this???
Man this song reminds me of the 60's the whole world over!
From Australia to Greece to Brazil!
wore out my Jan and Dean album back In the vinyl days
This song still kicks ass, nothing like heading to the beach in your car and your speedometer seems to increase,,,awesome song, will never get old
7/20/19 Real Old-school Cool: July 20, 1963 - The #1 song this week, 56 years ago - Jan & Dean: "Surf City".
Harems before Japanese anime
King of Queens: Awful Bigamy
When this song was a hit when I was a kid I always wondered how two guys could sing in 5-part harmony. They were ahead of the curve when it came to overdubbing.
*I've got a Woody. but it not a 34 hahahahahahaha( ;)*
POLYAMOROUS DELIGHT
To the 244 Communists who put a Thumb Down for this: You are banned from the internet until further notice.
TH3 Communist's you must be refuring to the Liberal Democrat's!!!!!!!-2019!!!!!!
@Joseph F Danza Seriously Joseph. First of all, this is a music site. Second, it Moscow Mitch and Comrade trump who are the Commie lovers. Now shut up and stick to the music since it's clear you know squat about what's going on in this country.
Guys! True Commie bashing goes beyond party lines. As for you 265 Go get shot in the head with an out a rifle in Siberia.
Do you notice when your in your car and this song comes on, your right foot gets a bit heavier on the gas pedal
beatles admira a beach boys y beach boys admira a jan y dean
These guys were definitely influenced by the Four Seasons.
They said they thought Walk Like Man was the biggest production they heard up to that time so they recorded it meanwhile the Beach Boys quoted it SURFERS RULE
Fun fact: Weird Al parodied this, and the Beach Boys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN6avab0fIY).
On the dodgems 1964 .... priceless

Someone needs to do a mashup of this song and The Beach Boys' Surfin Safari
Ramones!
All of these years I thought this was the Beach Boys.
"Woody" has a different meaning, today.
You're excited for the new Toy Story too, huh?
Sry, couldn't resist.
@imaginaryobserver oh... I get it! Took me a minute. Good one.
These guys are awesome, though they do sound like the beach boys, still great though. Is Jan short for something?
* A friend tried to force me to buy a "woody" a 1960 Ford station wagon all rusted & corroded with rear window busted out and stick shift which I do not drive. I refused to buy that $#|+ wagon and he got so mad at me. ♣
A "friend" tried to "force" you into buying a car? What the hell kind of friend is that? Why didn't you try to force him to eat a turd-burger?
When my kids were young I taught them to jump on park benches and 'surf' while singing this song...no waves to catch in PA!
California's surf rock....do not forget DICK DALE!!!
Glen Campbell on Electric Guitar R.I.P!
Reported for polygamy.
I like that picture of them with Diane Renay at 0:38
Why were these never nominated for the hall of fame there contribution to music was enormous
Love this song surfing is boss and I'd be lucky to hang 7 burrr wink your eyes no rip tides love the 60s
72 virgins for every guy after you die
Jt'ai cassé
Wilson doing the backups. Classic!
You dont gotta say a word. Im driving, you smoke cigarettes and chew bubblegum. I aint lying
Who's the lady at 1:01 (sounds like a hiway)?
GOOD tune
I have this song on a small 3" CD that I bought many years ago that has three other songs on it. One of my favorites.
I would’ve thought this was the Beach Boys if I didn’t know better
It was cowritten by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.
Always thought this was BEACH BOYS
They sound identical.
Brian Wilson cowrote the song.
I was 12...13 when I 1st heard it. 2 girls every boy and I'm getting my Woodie ready... a little x rated for a boy that age.
Two cats for every boy.
Two boys for every boy.
ドーナツ食べたくなってきた(*^^*)
I was 6 yrs old when my dad wanted me to listen to Jan and Dean, now I''m 56 and my dad is 82...we're both still alive and and kickin'.....:).
this song is too bissexual for me
2 gulls for every buoy
Surf music truly embodied the life of us growing up on the beaches of SoCal, a beautiful carefree time in history. I only wish the kids that came behind us could have experienced this.
Surf City was and is Huntington Beach. In the sixties my girlfriend, her little brother and dad all surfed there next to the pier in competition at "The Annual Surfers Convention Meet".
Dewey Webber, Hap Jacobs, Hobie Alder, Jack O'Neil, Bing Copeland, Rick Stoner, Phil Becker, Greg Knoll, (my neighbor), and a bunch of the upcoming younger guys. Still have my E.T. board.
