It was the year 1492

Columbus sailed the ocean blue 

But the Indians had a tail to tell 

About the big kauhuna big wave well

It comes every 45 years 

Get a big board its coming this summer 

It comes in the middle of the night

The water flat the moonlight right

Well the mountain men have a tale to tell 

Hillbilly surfers on logs from hell 

Coming down the mountains on the river swells

For the big kauhuna big wave well 

I tried to build a ramp last night  

My skateboard broke but that's all right

I gotta big stick for the big kauhuna

I gotta get laid then catch this wave

Skate party tonight 

I'm not gonna work or think this summer

I gotta be ready to catch this wave

Up with the sun it won't be long  

The founding fathers have a tail to tell 

About this thing called god this wave from hell

Catch it in the still moonlight 

If you catch it right you can ride it all night

This wave bounces all around the world 

Catch it going out ride it to New Zealand
