Lyrics for Catch A Wave

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 goin' on so long (Catch a wave, catch a wave) All the surfers goin' 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) 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 Way above, up on top of the world Catch a wave, you'll be sittin' on top of the world Way above, up on top of the world
