Surfin' Safari

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on a safari with me
(Come on a safari with...)

Early in the morning we'll be startin' out
Some honeys will be comin' along
We're loadin' up our Woody
With the boards inside
And headin' out singin' our song

Come on (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me
Come along (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on a safari with me
(Come on a safari with...)

At Huntington and Malibu
They're shooting the pier
At Rincon they're walking the nose
We're going on safari to the islands this year
So if you're coming get ready to go

Come on (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me
Come along (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on and safari with me
(Come on and safari with...)

They're ranglin in lagona, and sierra soux,
they're kickin' out in doheny too.
I tell you surfin's kinda wild, it's getting bigger everyday
from hawaii to the shores of peru.

Come on (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me
Come along (surfin') baby wait and see (surfin' safari)
Yes I'm gonna (surfin') take you surfin' (surfin' safari)with me

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on and safari with me
(Come on and safari with...)

Surfin' Safari

Surfin' Safari stands as a definitive anthem of the late 1960s surf rock era, capturing the rebellious spirit of California youth culture. Recorded by The Beach Boys, the track exemplifies the group's signature blend of harmonies and melodic guitar work, pushing the boundaries of their earlier pop-oriented sound. Released on The Beach Boys Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys, the song reflects the band's evolution into a more mature, psychedelic-infused style while maintaining their core identity. As a cornerstone of their discography, Surfin' Safari remains a vital representation of mid-century American pop music, influencing countless artists who followed in the wake of its infectious energy and distinctive production.
