Catch a wave and you're sitting 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 your sittin' on top of the world

So take a lesson from a top notch surfer boy

Catch a wave catch a wave

Get yourself a big board

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

Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world

Way up high up on top of the world
