[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
She's really stricken by that bronze-skinned idol
With his dubious smile and a promise of revival
He strikes a pose
A perfect note
Hands her a rose
And another quote from his Bible

[Chorus 1]
(Surf's down)
Here's an artificial wave by the Astroturf
(Surf's down)
If the water's flat, he'll pay for surf
(Surf's down)
By inflatable palm trees on the shifting sand
(Surf's down)
She plays beach blanket bingo with her plastic man
He'll pay for surf

[Hook]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
She likes the feel of that lukewarm water
And the guy seems concerned like a heavenly father
Lends her a hand
'Cause he's the man
With the tanning-bed tan
And the lambs to the slaughter

[Chorus 1]
Yeah
(Surf's down)
Here's an artificial wave by the Astroturf
(Surf's down)
If the water's flat, he'll pay for surf
(Surf's down)
By inflatable palm trees on the shifting sand
(Surf's down)
She plays beach blanket bingo with her plastic man
(He pays for surf)
He pays for surf
(He pays for surf)
He pays for surf
(He pays for surf)
He pays for surf

[Verse 3]
It's a happy-ever-after little vignette
(Surf's down)
He says "Baby, let's sail into the sunset"
(Surf's down)
But you can't get far
On this chlorine sea
Now she's back home
And he's history
Just another reject

[Chorus 2]
(Surf's down)
Here's an artificial wave by the Astroturf
(Surf's down)
When the water was flat, he paid for surf
(Surf's down)
An inflatable palm tree on the shifting sand
(Surf's down)
Where she plays beach blanket bingo with her plastic man
(Now she's back in it)
She prays for surf
(Now she's back in it)
She prays for surf
(Now she's back in it)
Now she prays for surf
(Now she's back in it)
She prays for surf
