Every time I see the ocean I get choked up with emotion, it's true
When I'm riding on my board catching waves into the shore with you
I got a monster surfer dream, got to keep the water clean and blue,
So come on all around the world, let's do what surfing monsters do

Come on and love, love, love, love the ocean
Show respect for the sea
Be a friend to the water 'cause
It's a friend to you and me
Help to cure it, keep it pure from sea to sea to shining sea

When I see somebody litter, it sure puts me in a bitter mood
I say, "Hey do what you ought to, get that trash out of the water, dude"
The birds and animals and fish have a monster surfer wish for real
They wish that people round the world would feel how surfing monsters feel

Come on and love, love, love, love the ocean
Show respect for the sea
Be a friend to the water 'cause
It's a friend to you and me
Help to cure it, keep it pure from sea to sea to shining sea

Yeah! Love, love, love, love the ocean
Show respect for the sea
Be a friend to the water 'cause
It's a friend to you and me
Help to cure it, keep it pure from sea to sea to shining sea
From sea to sea to shining sea
Yeah!
