Hurry, hurry, hurry folks step right up to the Beach Boy circus.
The best little show in town.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's only a dime folks, one thin dime, just one tenth of a dollar.
Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (Is it real?)
She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake.
(She looks like a fake to me) (Let's go see her) (It costs too much)
Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella. She shimmies, she shakes. . . .
..............................F................................................................Dm7
You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jersey's steel pier
.............................F.......................................................................C7
You'll crack 'em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors
......Dm
At first you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride
..................Bb
But you'll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side
Gm7............................................C7..............................F
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day
