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
Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide
