★ Verse 1 ★ My first real surfboard was a, a lightning bolt Man, I was so stoked I practically slept with that thing Some nights before we'd be going out surfing Man, I could barely sleep Before the sun would rise We'd already be on our way to the beach
★ Chorus ★ Aw baby, check this wave out I got so barreled and still made it out I got my style down just like Lopez On our way home let's stop for an Icee
★ Verse 2 ★ We used to trick out these old Schwinn Sting-Rays Take the seat off, take the fenders off Strip the bike down of everything that it didn't need Bend the handlebars out wide Make it look like a, make it look like a flat track I had this old orange BSA motorcycle t-shirt that my brother gave me I used to wear it in the rain We'd make motocross races in the park Set up a ramp See how many trash cans we could jump I thought I was Steve McQueen ★ Chorus ★ Paint it black with a can of spray paint Get some forks and stretch the extension Oh, oh oh oh, on any Sunday Evel Knievel's gonna jump the Grand Canyon
★ Verse 3 ★ And in my punk rock mod days I used to ride a Vespa motor scooter I had this beautiful 150 Vespa Sprint With a full windscreen and a cop seat Bought it out on the windward side Drove it home in the rain, I'll never forget it I painted it maroon and cream And put a Hawaiian flag on it snd a bunch of mirrors We had a little scooter club You know, it was total "Quadrophenia" We'd go out riding at night, go out dancing to ska Down in Waikiki We were Kool and the Gang until Marky crashed and Mikey died
★ Chorus ★ Aw, let's drive around the island And maybe catch a flick at Wai'alae Drive-In We'll make the scene, you know the girls like riding I like to drive in the thunder and lightning
