Lyrics


Dreaming of a Simple Tune

I sat there in English class
Reading from some way old text
Teacher prancing round the room
Get me outta this mess

I sat there in History
Checking out El Salvador
Tried hard to find the meaning
But staring at the door

I sat there in Algebra
Fractions jumping all around
Filling in a formula
Watching the clock tick down

Give me a
Short board, bottom turn, cut back, in the soup,
Tail slide, locked in, close out, Malibu
Goofy foot, beach break, slash turn, caught inside,
Pipeline, swallow tail, new school, one last ride
Cross step, Huntington, Capitola and Laguna
Long board, endless summer, dreaming of a simple tune

I stood there in P E class
Trying hard to barely move
Teacher blowing a whistle
He doesn’t have a clue

I sat there in Science class
Breaking down some  C O 2
Looking outside the window
Don't have an ocean view

Give me a
Short board, bottom turn, cut back, in the soup,
Tail slide, locked in, close out, Malibu
Goofy foot, beach break, slash turn, caught inside,
Pipeline, swallow tail, new school, one last ride
Cross step, Huntington, Capitola and Laguna
Long board, endless summer, dreaming of a simple tune

And when I close my eyes
I can see the sunny skies
I can taste the ocean breeze
I can put myself at ease
I  feel sand around my feet
I can put myself at ease

Give me a
Short board, bottom turn, cut back, in the soup,
Tail slide, locked in, close out, Malibu
Goofy foot, beach break, slash turn, caught inside,
Pipeline, swallow tail, new school, one last ride
Cross step, Huntington, Capitola and Laguna
Long board, endless summer, dreaming of a simple tune
