[Verse 1]
The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxin' down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxin' down because it's really a blast
I'm goin' surfin' 'cause I don't like your face
I'm bailin' out because I hate the race
Of rats that run round and round in a maze
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'

[Chorus]
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat

[Verse 2]
My buddies and their honeys, all come along
They seem invincible as they surf along
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'

[Chorus]
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
[Bridge]
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
I never thought it'd come to this, now I can never go home
You take your car to work, I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat

(You take your car to work, I'll take my board)
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
(And when you're out of fuel, I'm still afloat)
I never thought it'd come to this, now I can never go home

(You take your car to work, I'll take my board)
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
(And when you're out of fuel, I'm still afloat)
I never thought it'd come to this, now I can never go home

(You take your car to work, I'll take my board)
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
(And when you're out of fuel, I'm still afloat)
I never thought it'd come to this, now I can never go home

[Outro]
You take your car
I'll take my board
You take your car
I'll take my board
Let's go
