lyrics

Sofa Surfin

Catch a cushion turn on the T.V.
Come on and go sofa surfin' with me
Call your buddy tell him you’re in a fix
Then show up around dinner with an extra six
If you work it right you can crash there that night
Sofa surfin' until daylight

Find out where the party is for the weekend
Show up at twelve say you’re a friend of a friend
As the crowd thins out fall asleep on the couch
No-one will have the heart to throw you out
If worse comes to worse say you’re too drunk to drive
And to make you leave would be a crime

Sofa Surfin'! I’ve ridden them all
from modular to convertible
Sofa Surfin'! you don’t need a tent
Sofa Surfin'! Who needs to pay rent?
Catch a cushion you’ll be surfin' on top of the world

Dig between the cushions for lost change and stuff
Once I scored a bullwhip and a pair of handcuffs
Learn to blend in with the scenery
And you can live forever for free
Catch a cushion, baby, come sofa surfin' with me

I have a kid who was a baby when the pandemic started and a toddler now. When he’s older and asks what the pandemic is like I’m gonna put this album on and pour myself a drink- this covers it all. Feels surreal to imagine ever having the privilege of going to see a Jeffrey Lewis show again but it’s top of my list when this crap is over. savanns
