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 
Every Saturday boy 
But don't 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
