If everybody had an ocean

Across the U.S.A.

Then everybody'd be surfin'

Like Californ-i-a

You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies

Huarachi sandals too

A bushy bushy blonde 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 out a 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 safari to stay

Tell the teacher we're surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

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 L.A.

(Inside outside U.S.A.)

All over La Jolla

(Inside outside U.S.A.)

At Waimea 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.

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.
