Mom, dad You might wanna stay home this year Honey, I'll see you later I'm doin' somethin' different for Christmas I'm going surfing for Christmas day I don't need Santa to take my worries away I'm headed south where there's sure to be waves I'm going surfing for Christmas day I'm going surfing for Christmas day Just take my presents and put them away I don't need a shirt or a sweater today, no I'm going surfing for Christmas day The Sun is shinin' away I know there's bound to be waves It's really not that far I won't need a plan You can eat your turkey Leave my beans on the sand I'm going surfing for Christmas day What better present than a beach holiday Just tell Santa I'll be ridin' a wave I'm going surfing for Christmas day
