"Mother Nature's Son"  by John Denver

"Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son.
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.
Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise.
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies."

"Bus Stop" * Hollies

Bus Stop
Wet day
She's there
I say:
Please share my umbrella.
Bus comes
Bus goes
She stays
Love grows
Under my umbrella.

"Sailing"  by Christopher Cross

"It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free,"

"Surfer Joe"  by The Surfaris

"Down in Doheny where the surfers all go
There's a big beach blondie named Surfer Joe
He's got a green woody & a board to match
And when he's riding the waves, man is he hard to catch."

I remember that tune on the flip side of "Wipe Out". I'm from Huntington Beach and worked in Dana Point where Doheny Bch is. Although everything is developed now and there's a fewer places to surf, back in 63' it still brings back nice memories.
