Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I moved from New York
With my boogie board
And bought a big house on the ocean
I stopped being me
I took the shoes off my feet
Just because I took a notion
[Verse 2]
My hair gave in so my beard came out
Caused quite a face of commotion
It grew past my lips, and then it covered my mouth
So no one could read my emotions
[Verse 3]
Malibu man
Isn't life great
Got the world in his hands
Malibu man
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I get up
But I'm feeling down
I don't have a sister or brother
No family, no wife
But I'm still livin' the life
Just step from a stone to another
[Verse 5]
I'm a myth of a man
I ride the waves when I can
I make the music so people will buy it
I take pride in my ways
And my colossal duvets
I'm just an old-fashion retailer's riot
[Verse 6]
Malibu man
Isn't life great
Got the world in his hands
Malibu man
Malibu man
Isn't life great
Got the world in his hands
Malibu man
[Verse 7]
Give it up
(Give it up)
Your Malibu man
Give it up
(Give it up)
Malibu
Give it up
(Give it up)
Malibu
Give it up
(Give it up)
Malibu
Give it up
(Give it up)
Malibu man
Give it up
(Give it up)
