2.- Lyrics

If everybody had an ocean

Across the U.S.A

Then everybody'd be surfin'

Like Californ-i-a

You'd see 'em wearing their baggies

Huarache sandals too

A bushy bushy blond hairdo

Surfin' U.S.A

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Ventura County line

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Santa Cruz and Trestles

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Australia's Narrabeen

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

All over Manhattan

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

And down Doheny Way

(Inside, outside)

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 Swamis

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Pacific Palisades

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

San Onofre and Sunset

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Redondo Beach LA

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

All over La Jolla

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

At Wa'imea Bay

(Inside, outside)

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A

Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A

Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A
