Catch a wave and you're sitting
On top of the world

Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is
To the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin'
On top of the world

Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road
And all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be
Sittin' on top of the world

Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Get yourself a big board
But don't you treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin
On top of the world

Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin'
On top of the world
