Surfin' U.S.A

Uploaded: August 20, 2005

Description

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A ...................
My entry for the Beach Boys Theme. Have wonderful day everyone!!!!!!!!
