Next Verse (Same Tune)

We'll all be planning out a route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surf borads
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'

At Haggarty's and Swami's
Pacific Palisades
San O nofre and Sunset
Redono Beach L A
All over Lajola, at Waiamea bay
Evry body's gone surfin'
