Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californ-I-A
[Verse 2]
You'd see 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals, too
A bushy, bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A.
[Chorus]
You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Ventura County line (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Santa Cruz and Trestle (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
Australia's Narrabeen (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
All over Manhattan (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)
And down Doheney Way (Inside, outside)
[Verse 3]
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
[Verse 4]
We'll all be planning out a route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
[Verse 5]
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
[Chorus]
Haggerty's and Swami's (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)
[Chorus]
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
[Outro]
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.
