words for you non-Californians :)
Actually, i have this on a record, but my turntable is messed up, so I
can't verify ALL of the missing links...
Doheny is a beach in Orange County
http://cal-parks.ca.gov/DISTRICTS/orange/dsb610.htm
(also mentioned in "Surfin' Safari" and "Surfin' USA" by
the Beach Boys)
A Woody is a car that Surfers drive - 50% because they LOOK good,
50% because their length of the car was able to hold surfboards.

I'm not sure if the "Huntington's Meet" isn't "Huntington Beach"
(they like to think of their city as "Surf City")
http://www.hbonline.com/
"hangin' five" and "walkin' the nose" are surfer stunts
http://rhino.com/features/liners/72418lin.html#dictionary
Camp Pendleton is the Marine Base that's (i think) in south Orange
County... or reaaaally north San Diego County. (All I know is I live in
San Diego and it's inbetween my house and Disneyland)

Marines do maneuvers (training exercises)
If anyone can help with the third line, I'd appreciate it.

The missing word came to me very early the next morning -
"SURFBOARD" DOH!
"He's got a green woody and a surfboard to match"

Here it is, with all corrections made, including the few no one has
caught yet:
Surfer Joe
Down in Doheny where the surfers all go
There's a big bleached blondie named Surfer Joe
He's got a green surfboard with a woody to match
And when he's riding the freeways, man is he hard to catch
Chorus:
Surfer Joe, now look at him go-o-o
Surfer, surfer, surfer Joe
Go man go
Oh-o-o Surfer Joe
Joe went to Huntington Beach one week
For the annual surfer's convention meet
He was hangin' five and walkin' the nose
And when the meet was over, the trophy was Joe's
Chorus
Surfer Joe joined Uncle Sam's marines today
They stationed him at Pendleton, not far away
They cut off his long blond locks I'm told
And when he went on maneuvers, Joe caught cold
Chorus
