Catch a wave and you’re sittin’ on top of the world
Don’t be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Catch a wave, catch a wave
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
Catch a wave, catch a wave
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 you’re sittin’ on top of the world

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Catch a wave, catch a wave
Every Saturday boy
But don’t you 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
We are put up on top of the world
Catch a wave, you’ll be sittin’ on top of the world
We are put up on top of the world
