Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing
Wake up
There's a new kid in the town
Honey, he's moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he's gonna make it all better
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don't care about nothing
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go
"Let's Go Surfing" by The Drums is a carefree song about a morning beach trip taken by the singer and their significant other. It talks about the beauty of the morning, the possibility of a new love interest in town, and the love for surfing. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but there is a sense of joy and happiness throughout the song. The first verse talks about waking up and going to the beach with the person you love while the stars are still shining. It's like they are eager to start their day and want to make the most of it.
The chorus repeats the line "Oh momma, I wanna go surfin'" twice and then follows it up with "Oh momma, I don't care about nothing." This is a representation of the singer's passion for surfing and how it allows them to escape any worries or concerns they may have in their life. It's all about the surf and the good times that come with it.
The second verse introduces a new character in the song who is moving into the big house. The singer mentions how they were once hopeless but this new person is going to make everything better. It could be seen as a sort of jealousy towards this new person and their ability to make things better, but it's not dwelled upon for too long. The rest of the song goes back to the chorus and the repeated refrain. The rollercoaster in the bridge represents the ups and downs of life, but the sweet baby they will never let go shows their dedication and commitment to the person they love.
Overall, "Let's Go Surfing" is a happy-go-lucky song with simple lyrics and a catchy tune. It's about enjoying life and being in the moment. Savoring the simple pleasure of surfing and enjoying the beach with the person who means the most to you.
