We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines Some good looking people wearing Lee cooper jeans They're breaking on the headland, they're breaking on the shore And when you're living in hawaii they're breaking at your door We used to wet our fingers on surfing magazines Going to throw school and follow those scenes Going to get a kombi and go from beach to beach Be the kind of people the authorities can't reach We used to get our kicks reading surfing magazines Wake up in the morning and the waves are clean Standing on the headland taking in the scene Just like they do it ... in surfing magazines
