Well it's early in the mornin' and it's time to make a start
And I put my poly surfboard on the rack upon my car
I head down to the surfside, where the waves are makin' fine
I'm gonna catch a mountain but I won't go down the mine

You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
And now the time is growin' near, you're movin' down the wall
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five,
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Malibu

And now you've hit the beach and your feelin' mighty fine
You turn your board around for the second time
You make it out the back, the swells are comin' fast
The first ones are too small, and so you take the last

You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
And now the time is growin', near you're movin' down the wall
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Malibu

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
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
And now the time is growin' near, you're movin' down the wall
As steady as she goes, you got your toes upon the nose
And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five
Hangin' five toe-oes, upon the Malibu, upon the Malibu

Hangin' five, hangin' five ... [repeat and fade to end]
You know you gotta walk the plank Fra
