   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
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
  Gotta  take  that one  last  ride
 
   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 :
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
   Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
   Gotta take that one  last  ride
   Lined up  and waitin' for that  next big set  outside
   Nothin' can stop it 'cause you
   Just gotta  ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
  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
  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
  Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
  Gotta  take that one  last
 
  Gotta  take  that one  last  ride
 Chorus :
   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
