	Best feature of this song is introducing the West-Coast term hodaddy to the uninitiate (a 'hodaddy' is to the surfers' world as a 'muggle' is to the world of Harry Potter). A cute story of turn-and-turn-about is teamed up with the "Big Girls Don't Cry" chorus, showing at this early date the Beach Boy's rivalry with those East Coast hodaddies the Four Seasons. All in all, however, not much of a song.	Bruce Beatlefan	January 14, 2008

Lyrics

I kicked out of the surf
And stuck my board in the sand
And then up in my Woody
To a hamburger stand
And when I got back
My nine five board was gone

She said yeah she said
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
(Losers weepers)
Losers weepers
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers

I saw a Hodaddy
Paddlin' out by the pier
Well he musta got my board
'Cause mine isn't here
But I know how to fix him
I'll just raise that meatball flag

He said yeah he said
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
(Losers weepers)
Losers weepers
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers

He took off on a swell
When he saw the flag
He's just a crazy Hodaddy
Pullin' some kind of gag
He went over the falls
And now my board's
Coming back to me

I said yes I said
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
(Losers weepers)
Losers weepers
(Finders keepers)
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers

That'll teach him to mess with my board
Next pass next time...
