Surfin' USA

Richard Thompson


If everybody had an ocean 
Across the U.S.A. 
Then everybody'd be surfin' 
Like California 
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies 
Huarachi sandals too 
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo 
Surfin' U.S.A. 

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar 
Ventura County line 
Santa Cruz and Trestle 
Australia's Narrabeen 
All over Manhattan 
And down Doheny Way 

Everybody's gone surfin' 
Surfin' U.S.A. 

We'll all be planning that route 
We're gonna take real soon 
We're waxing down our surfboards 
We can't wait for June 
We'll all be gone for the summer 
We're on surfari to stay 
Tell the teacher we're surfin' 
Surfin' U.S.A. 

Haggerties and Swamies 
Pacific Palisades 
San Onofre and Sunset 
Redondo Beach L.A. 
All over La Jolla 
At Wa'imea Bay. 

Everybody's gone surfin' 
Surfin' U.S.A. 

Everybody's gone surfin' 
Surfin' U.S.A. 

Everybody's gone surfin' 
Surfin' U.S.A.
