Lyrics

Charlie don't surf and we think he should Charlie don't surf, and you know that it ain't no good Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama Charlie's gonna be a napalm star Everybody wants to rule the world It must be something we get from birth One truth is we never learn Satellites will make space burn We've been told to keep the strangers out We don't like 'em starting to hang around We don't like 'em all over town Across the world we're gonna blow 'em down Charlie don't surf and we think he should Charlie don't surf, and you know that it ain't no good Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama Charlie's gonna be a napalm star Reign of the super powers must be over So many armies can't free the earth Soon the rock will roll over Africa is choking on their Coca-Cola It's a one-way street in a one-horse town One way people starting to brag around You can laugh, put 'em down These one way people gonna blow us down 'Cause Charlie don't surf and we think he should Charlie don't surf, and you know that it ain't no good Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama Charlie's gonna be a napalm star Charlie don't surf, he'll never learn Charlie don't surf though he's got a gun Charlie don't surf, think that he should Charlie don't surf, we really think that he should Charlie don't surf, Charlie don't surf Charlie don't surf and we think he should Charlie don't surf, and you know that it ain't no good Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama Charlie don't surf Charlie don't surf and we think he should Charlie don't surf, and you know that it ain't no good Charlie don't surf for his hamburger mama Charlie's don't surf
