Lyrics and Chords


Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world

/ AF GA D - /

Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
     Catch a wave, catch a wave
           Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa

/ D - - - / A - D - / G - / D - / AF GA D - /

Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
     Catch a wave, catch a wave
           All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
     Catch a wave, catch a wave
           Get yourself a big board
But don't you treat it like a toy
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin' on top of the world
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa

Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
     Ooh wa ooh wa, ooh wa ooh wa
