Surfin' U.S.A.
The Beach Boys Lyrics
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like California
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blond hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A.
You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narabine
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
We'll all be plannin' out a route
We're gonna take 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 surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Haggerties and Swamies
Pacific Palisades
San Anofree and Sunset
Redondo Beach L.A.
All over La Jolla
At Waimia Bay
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.
Yeah, everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' U.S.A.

The B-side of the single is "Shut Down". The song features Mike Love on lead vocals. The songwriting credit for the song was eventually given entirely to Chuck Berry, as "Surfin' USA" is similar to Berry's song "Sweet Little Sixteen" in many respects, including melody, rhythm, and lyrics.

The song was famously featured in the hit 1985 Michael J. Fox comedy Teen Wolf.

Fun fact: When they sing “all over Manhattan”, they are not referring to NYC, but rather Manhattan Beach in California.

You know a song is great when even people of younger generations love it. I'm 23 and this is one of my favorite songs.
