Verse 1

  In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay

  Where the best surfers in the world come to stay

  And ride the wild surf, they come to try

  To conquer those waves some thirty feet high

Chorus

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Gotta take that one last ride

[key changes to A]

Verse 2

  Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test

  And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best

  They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for

  The surf to build up on the northern shore

Chorus [in A]:

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Gotta take that one last ride

Bridge

  Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside

  Nothin' can stop it 'cause you

  Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Verse 3

The heavies at the Pipeline are OK

But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay

It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown

To catch a last wave and ride it in alone

Chorus

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Gotta take that one last

[key changes to Bb]

  Gotta take that one last ride

Chorus [in Bb]:

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf

  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
