We got a Soviet sub, she's a '79
She's got a nuclear reactor and she runs real fine
We're loyal to the party and the party line
But a sailor's gotta have a little fun sometime

We were out in the Pacific where it's nice and deep
When our sonar operator went and fell asleep
Then a terrible crash awakened every hand
And we woke up stuck here in the California sand

Now here we are
Surfin' U.S.S.R
Malibu, U.S.A
With all the movie stars
Yah, I'm gettin' kinda tan
Gettin' good on guitar
Come on honey be my little commissar
We don't want start no nuclear fight
We just wanna have a beach party tonight

Yo, yo, yo yo yo (now here we are)
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo (surfin' U.S.S.R)
Yo, yo yo yo, yo yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo
Thought the girls were bewitchin' back at Moscow U
Till we saw the little honeys here at Malibu
One look through the periscope and we all flipped
It was a mutiny aboard the People's Ship

Yo, yo, yo yo yo (now here we are)
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo (surfin' U.S.S.R)
Yo, yo yo yo, yo yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo yo
Yo yo yo yo
