Folk City - Lyrics - Jan And Dean

Jan and Dean were an American rock and roll duo, popular from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s, consisting of William Jan Berry and Dean Ormsby Torrence . They were pioneers of the vocal "surf music" craze that was popularized by The Beach Boys. Among their most successful songs was "Surf City", which topped both the Billboard and Cashbox music charts in June 1963; "Drag City", which was a No. 10 hit on both the Billboard and Cashbox charts in 1963; and their song "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena", which peaked at No. 3. "Dead Man's Curve", which reached No. 8 on the Billboard charts in 1964, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.

Two girls for every boy…. I got a Hohner harmonica and a Vox 12 string. Folk City here we come. You know there's lots of protest songs that I wanna sing. Folk City here we come. I’m going to sing all the words like Bob Dylan does, About where it’s at and where it was. Yeah I’m goin’ Folk City cause I got to unwind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City, got to blow my mind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City cause I got to unwind Yeah goin’ to Folk City got to blow my mind Two Girls for every boy…. I am getting bugged with this feeling of being uptight. Folk City here we come. I’m gunna find me a chick who does everything right. Folk City here we come. So take a trip with me and we will be all alone, In the jingle jangle morning like a Rolling Stone. And I’m goin’ Folk City cause I got to unwind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City, got to blow my mind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City cause I got to unwind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City got to blow my mind Two girls for every boy…. So go away from my window come round to my door Folk City here we come. Cause if you wanna be in that’s what it’s for. Folk City here we come. To be a little more than friends is all I want to do, And say “Hi when we meet, and bye when we’re through.” And I’m goin’ Folk City cause I got to unwind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City, got to blow my mind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City cause I got to unwind You know I’m goin’ to Folk City got to blow my mind Two girls for every boy….
