Hi guys,
I must say of myself, that I speak and understand the english language rather well.
But I am troubled with a couple of expresions, that Jimmy uses.
So can anybody help me by explaining the following lines?
-Surfs up
-Coup de ville

greetings

Hi,

Not overly sure of these but think they are correct:

Coupe De Ville: A model of car, normally associated with Cadillacs. This would fit in with the rest of the lyrics
:> You'll never find oil on the streets, gold on the beach or a flash car in a crackerjack box.

Surf's Up: Used to be a surfing term meaning that the waves were right for surfing but has now come to mean that something is ready.

Hope these are somewhere close to being right
