lyrics

Ooooh.
Happy birthday, Surfer Paul. I know you well, you will go far.
You read Godot I know it's true. You've held your breath until your blue.
I wrote this song not just for you but for your kids to listen too.
You'll see them drink inside a bar. So go to the waves inside your car.

Surfer Paul you will always live. I've known that since I looked inside your crib.
And when you go their Surfer Paul I know you'll grow up very tall. I hope you will return to me after, of course, I set you free.
The chorus drifts onto the shore so lazily and lazily.

You'll ride a wave made from this chord until you wipe out on your board.
The currents will fade to flame when with your candles you wish the same.
Your anger was derived from pain so send it back to whence it came.
And when you pray to Surfer Lord to the waves you will go towards.

Drift upon this rift, consider it a gift.

Surfer Paul you will always live. I've known that since I looked inside your crib.
And when you go their Surfer Paul I know you'll grow up very tall. I hope you will return to me after, of course, I set you free.
The chorus drifts onto the shore so lazily and nasally inside your public memory.

Your beard is long now, turning gray to simulate a driftwood bay.
Say "Love your kids" that is the truth! In sacrifice for nimble youth.
And maybe whales do know it all but to understand just accept the Sandman.
