Commotion In The Ocean

I am a surf nut

And the surf is up

I'm headin' for Sunset Beach

It's not far not hard to reach

Where coconuts grow in palm trees

I can smell the breeze

Wanna ride the waves

I'm all excited about the surfin' craze

I packed a picnic lunch

I hope I find a bunch

Of fun and clean sand

I wanna get a suntan

I wanna ride the surf

At ninety miles an hour

Hope you don't get

Get sour

If you're freezing in New York

That I've followed the stork

And headed to the coast

To do what I love most

Commotion in the ocean

There by the water

That's where I saw her

A beautiful mermaid

And she was afraid

She had never seen

A human before

And she started pointin' at the shorts I wore

The ones with the Hawaiian print

So bright she had to squint

What language are you speaking

You know I'm seeking

A way to learn to swim

So I can win

The Triple Crown Trophy

Can you help me

'Cause I've read all the surfin' magazines

And I traded a bathing suit for my old blue jeans

Commotion in the ocean

Commotion in the ocean

A crowd began to gather

People asked 'whatsa matter'

Should we get a lifeguard

Amateurs should be barred

Something's going on

Then everything went wrong

And in all the commotion

She jumped back in the ocean

There went my mermaid so I followed the parade

To the hot dog stand

I am better off on land

Better leave the surfin'

To the pros

Before a crab bites one of my toes

I've already got a sun burn

When will I ever learn

A lesson out of this

That I'm not a fish

Commotion in the ocean

Commotion in the ocean

Commotion in the ocean

Commotion in the ocean
