Lyrics

Well, it's early in the morning and it's time to make a start And I put my polished surfboard on the rack upon my car I head down to the surfside where the waves are breaking fine I'm gonna catch a mountain but I won't go down the mine You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook Corner left and right and keep it nice and tight And now the time is drawing near, you're moving down the wall Now steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose And now you're hanging by, hanging by Hanging by a cord upon the Malibu And now you've hit the beach and you're feeling mighty fine You turn your board around for the second time You make it out the back, swells are coming fast The first ones are too small and so you take the mast You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook Corner left and right and keep it nice and tight And now the time is drawing near, you're moving down the wall Now steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose And now you're hanging by, hanging by Hanging by a cord upon the Malibu Red stuff And when the day is over and all the surfers meet You go down to the surf club to dance and stomp and beat And when the night is through you hear the fellas say "Don't forget tomorrow, you got another day" You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook Corner left and right and keep it nice and tight And now the time is drawing near, you're moving down the wall Now steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose And now you're hanging by, hanging by Hanging by a cord upon the Malibu Upon the Malibu (Hanging by, hanging by) You know you gotta walk the plank, Frank (Hanging by, hanging by) Get your toes right up on that nose Surfer Joe (Hanging by, hanging by) And don't forget, Frank (Hanging by, hanging by) Watch that bushy, bushy blonde hairdo (Hanging by, hanging by)
