Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If everybody had an ocean

Across the U.S.A.

Then everybody'd be surfin'

Like Californ-I-A

[Verse 2]

You'd see 'em wearing their baggies

Huarache sandals, too

A bushy, bushy blonde hairdo

Surfin' U.S.A.

[Chorus]

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Ventura County line (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Santa Cruz and Trestle (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Australia's Narrabeen (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

All over Manhattan (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

And down Doheney Way (Inside, outside)

[Verse 3]

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

[Verse 4]

We'll all be planning out a route

We're gonna take real soon

We're waxing down our surfboards

We can't wait for June

[Verse 5]

We'll all be gone for the summer

We're on safari to stay

Tell the teacher we're surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

[Chorus]

Haggerty's and Swami's (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Pacific Palisades (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

San Onofre and Sunset (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Redondo Beach, LA (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

All over La Jolla (Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

At Wa'imea Bay (Inside, outside)

[Chorus]

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

[Outro]

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.
