Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

OS covered by Eric Clapton, George Thorogood, others.
Surfer Willie's out digitally--
Lost five toes at the lumber mill; he
Now walks and strolls just a bit askew
But he hangs five in Honolulu.

He hated to see toe knuckles go,
But he hangs five on the tidal flow.
Slathers klyster* on till his board shines,
Gonna hang five in the pipelines.

CHORUS:
Hang five, hang five, hang five
Do amazing hang-five.

Doctor said, "Son, I can't give you no relief. . .
One foot with toes ain't replete."
Willie says he won't suffer defeat.
Did the hang-five with one of two feet

CHORUS

Willie's got skill, he hardly does fall,
Even goin' down a 30-foot water wall.
He could join the navy and be a Seabee.
He'd rather hang five and be free.

CHORUS
