If everybody had an ocean Across the USA Then everybody'd be surfin' like California
You'd see them wearin' their baggies Huara-Chi sandals too a bushy bushy blonde
hair do Surfin' USA You'll catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar Ventura county county line
Santa Cruz and Tressels Australia's Narabine All over Manhattan And down Doheny
Way Everydody's gone surfin' Surfin' USA
We'll all be plannin' out a route We're gonna take out real soon
We're waxin' 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' USA At Haggarty's and Swami's Pacific Palisades
San Onofre and Sunset Ronaldo Beach LA All over La Jolla at Waiamea Bay
Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' USA (sing365)
The lyrics are basically a guide to good surf locations, but the "Surfin' U.S.A." music was based on Chuck Berry's 1958 hit "Sweet Little Sixteen." The Beach Boys did it as a tribute to Berry, but didn't get his permission first - maybe because Berry was in jail for transporting a minor across state lines. When Berry threatened to sue, The Beach Boys agreed to give him most of the royalties and list him as the song's composer. (songfacts)
