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
